Ursula Schneider Obituary

Visit the Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes - Downtown Chapel website to view the full obituary.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ursula L. Schneider on February 28, 2026, at the age of 95. Born on December 12, 1930, in Remscheid, Rheinland, Germany, Ursula was the beloved daughter of the late Wilhelm Heinrich Wewer and Adele Raspe Wewer.

A distinguished graduate of the University of Cologne, Ursula earned a degree as an architectural engineer, marking the beginning of a remarkable career in architecture. After a successful tenure in Germany, she dreamed of living in the United States and realized that dream when she moved to the US, eventually becoming a citizen in 2009.

In 1960, Ursula married, Joachim "John" Wolfgang Schneider, in Berlin, Germany. Together, they embarked on a journey that included designing her first house in Clermont, Florida, followed by a second in Toxaway, North Carolina. During her time in Florida, she cultivated over 200 orange trees and took pride in contributing to the architectural landscape of her communities. After settling in South Carolina in 2008, Ursula became a cherished member of The Cliffs community.

A celebration of Ursula's life will be held at Glassy Mountain Chapel, The Cliffs at Glassy, on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Immediately following the service, there will be a reception from 4:00 until 5:00 p.m. at Mountain Hill Community Church, 34 The Cliffs Parkway, Landrum, SC 29356.

To honor Ursula's memory, please donate to a worthy charity and visit www.thomasmcafee.com to share memories and condolences.
