Alice C. Schneider, 68, of Rockland

Township, passed away in her sleep on

Saturday, September 24, 2016, at Lehigh

Valley Hospital, Allentown, after a

courageous battle with cancer.

Alice was the loving and devoted wife of Allan H. Steinfeld. They were married on May 17, 1987. Born in Geneva, Ohio, she was a daughter of the late

William and Dorothy Marie (Hamilton) Schneider.

Alice received a Bachelor's Degree in Home Economics from Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio, and a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Development from

Columbia University, New York, N.Y.

Alice first worked as a buyer for J.C. Penney Department Stores, in New York, but found a passion for computers and data as she forged a career at the fledgling organization New York Road Runners, organizers of the New York City Marathon. She was with them for over 26 years as the

Information Technology Director. Alice retired in 2004.

Also an artist, Alice enjoyed making pottery. She spent countless hours volunteering her time and efforts to

One-by-One no-kill Cat Shelter, Kutztown. Alice was also a student of Svaroopa Yoga for 15+ years. She took her

practice to deep levels. Alice was consistent to Sunday Morning class and weekly private sessions with her

husband, Allan, until just a few months ago.

Alice was loved by so many, and her sweetness will

continue to be bestowed upon all of us.

survived by sisters, Ann R. (Schneider), wife of Alan A. Forist, Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Ellen L. (Schneider), wife of Henry N. Russell, Grosselle, Michigan; a brother, David Schneider, Anderson, South Carolina. Other
