EDWARD LEE SCHNEIDER

EDWARD LEE SCHNEIDER

Edward Lee Schneider, 86 of Garwood, passed away on April 15, 2023. He was born on March 10, 1937 in Nada to the late Charles Schneider, Sr. and Bertha Swoboda Schneider. Ed Lee was a rice farmer on the Garwood prairie until he retired at age 67. He was a life-long member of St. Mary’s parish and the Nada KC Council #3371; he was named Knight of the Year in 2004. He served on the board of directors of American Rice Growers Association and the Wharton County Electrical Co-operative for many years. He was a member of the Garwood Volunteer Fire Department and the Garwood Lions Club. After retirement, he and his wife Ernestine participated in many volunteer activities within the Nada- Garwood community and Colorado County. In 2002, he was named Citizen of the Year at the Older Texan Fair in Colorado County, and in 2014 he was named Citizen of the Year at “Christmas in Garwood.” He drove the St. Mary’s Church Eucharist Ministers to give communion to home-bound parishioners on Tuesdays until June 2022. He had inherited the family gift of gab and was always ready to provide advice to others. His sense of humor was his trademark; he could make any stranger feel like an old friend. He would always come up with any idea to gather family and friends for a good meal. Eating was his passion, along with napping. He enjoyed the simple things in life. He tinkered with his antique tractors and dabbled in woodworking. He appreciated the beauty of nature around him and the farmer in him liked to make things grow so he would plant his garden and reap the rewards. He lived his faith every day and was thankful to God for the many blessings in his life. His family was the most important gift in his life and his love for them was abundant. He will forever be in our hearts and will be missed immensely every day. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM
