Page created by: The family of Diane Schneider

Diane was raised in Reading and was a graduate of Reading Memorial High School. She spent many years raising her family and later owned and operated Schneider Brothers Auto Body in Woburn with her husband Bob. Diane and Bob shared a passion for cars and, in addition to racing dragsters at New England Dragway, traveled together in their motorhome to racetracks around the country.
Diane also had a love for collecting antiques and spent many weekends with Bob driving through New England in her yellow Thunderbird exploring antique shops. Among the many things that Diane will be remembered for are her love of flowers, camping, spending time with family, and celebrating birthdays and holidays. Birthdays meant a lot to Diane and she always made sure everyone received a card
from her and Bob on their special day. Above all else, Diane was a devoted wife and a loving, caring mother and grandmother.

Diane was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in her 40's and was a beacon of resilience for all of her family and friends. Whenever she met with another medical challenge, she persevered. She made every attempt to enjoy life as much as possible even taking road trips and having her hair done until her latest illness in January.

Diane was the beloved wife of Robert Schneider. She was the loving mother of Terri Lynn Fontaine and her husband Robin of Bradenton, FL, Chris Schneider and his wife Donna of Freedom, NH, Heidi Francis and her husband Robert of Freedom, NH, and Rodney Schneider and daughter in law Christine Schneider of Reading. She was the sister of Donna Burgess and her husband Frank of Brewster and
Richard Cadogan and his wife Susan of Lynnfield. She was the adoring grandmother of Kerri, Ryan, Shawn, Karissa, Brandon, Nicole, Jeff, Amanda, Bryan, Emily and Matthew; and great- grandmother to ten great-grandchildren. She is also survived by several dear
nieces, cousins and many friends.
