July 25, 2025

Steven L. Schneider, 78, of Lancaster, PA, passed away on Friday, July 25, 2025, at Lancaster General Hospital.

Born and raised in Lancaster, Steve was the son of the late Mary (Stokes) and Claude Schneider. He was the devoted husband of the late Judy (Stauffer), with whom he shared many loving years.

A proud 1965 graduate of J.P. McCaskey High School, Steve went on to serve his country with honor as a U.S. Navy veteran from 1968 to 1972. During his time in the Navy, he served as a Marine Mechanic, a role he took great pride in.

After his military service, Steve ran several businesses, was a certified glazier, and worked many years as a dedicated letter carrier for the United States Postal Service until his retirement.

Steve had a wide range of interests. He enjoyed spending time with his poker group and traveling, especially to Las Vegas. He had a unique passion for collecting Schneider memorabilia and was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and Penn State football.

An Eagle Scout in his youth, Steve carried those values of service and integrity throughout his life. But above all, he cherished time spent with his family and friends.

He is survived by his children: Karen Graver (Marty) of Lancaster, Jeff Schneider (Terri) of Lancaster, Mike Wotring (Jenn Seva) of Seattle, WA, and Steph Fleetman (Brian) of Lancaster; and his beloved grandchildren: Chandler Adams, and Logan, Sawyer, and Rylee Fleetman. He was preceded in death by his sister, Claudia Kinney.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 1818 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the Charles F. Snyder, Jr. Funeral Home and Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543.
