I enjoyed working at school with Ethel Mae. She was wonderful to work with and I learned a lot from her. We were a great team. I am on vacation so will miss the visitation and funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Barb
Mine and so many others kindergarten teacher. She was the best in every way. Going to miss seeing her at Kensington. All my prayers to her family. Jeanne(Geerts) Roder
John – I’m so sorry to read of your mom’s passing. So many Alta Vista kids remember her fondly as their kindergarten teacher. She touched so many lives and that is truly a tribute to her. My deepest sympathy to you, Diane, June and Lynn.
So sorry to hear this. When I first started teaching she was my mentor (before mentoring was a thing) when I started teaching kindergarten and she moved to third grade at Alta Vista. Then we both taught kindergarten at New Hampton. She was a wonderful person and teacher, who always had others needs close at heart. We had a lot of nice talks when we carpooled (Ethel Mae, Donna Cashman, and myself). We were coworkers, parishioners together at St. Bernard’s, and friends. I overheard someone in the grocery store at the beginning of a school year, telling that their child would be in Mrs. Schneberger’s class and that “she is just a peach”. I couldn’t agree more. Our sympathies to all of her family. Lynn and Lyle Ries
Please accept our sympathy. She was a great teacher!
So sorry to hear about Ethel’s passing! She was wonderful to teach with and we became good friends. She had my daughter in her class! She was a great teacher.
On behalf of the NHHS Class of 1969, our condolences to the Schneberger Family.
You have our deepest Sympathy. What a sweet lady that liked to talk if you had a minute and always enjoyed the visit with her. Her smile was contagious. She will be missed by all who knew her.
