Brenda Schneider

Brenda Lee Schneider Luedtke was born Sept. 22, 1972, in Rapid City S.D., to Jim and Monica Schneider.  She was such a bright light for all of us from the moment she was born.
Brenda attended school in Rapid City. She worked at Little Caesar’s, Landstrom’s and Riddles. She went to work for BHSSC and worked several years at the Career Learning Center, then transferred to the TIE Office division. She loved her work and was quick to learn new things on the spot as her job required.
On July 20, 1990, she was blessed with one son whom she cherished, Mike Schneider.
Her favorite pastimes were art, music, rock hunting, walks, and most of all, time with family and friends. She could hear a song and then play it on the piano or keyboard, she got superior awards for ear training when she was young. She was known as the family photographer. She also had a gift with the animals, very few she couldn’t get along with. One dog, Bailey, even ran away to her house. But her favorite was being Nana B to her three grandchildren, and they loved her just as much.
She was diagnosed with MS and did very well at keeping it under control. She had COVID-19 in December 2020 and recovered. She had her vaccinations but the last infusion for her MS stripped her immune system she almost immediately got COVID-19 again and pneumonia from it this time.
We lost our bright light on Nov. 23, 2021. She was 49.
Her last words were “See you on the other side.” Her faith was strong and we know she was welcomed by her family.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Mike; grandparents, Ross and Bernice Guisinger and Arnie and Bert Schneider; uncle, Ray Guisinger;  cousin, Debra Eckert; uncle, Bud Eckert; and uncle, Floyd Livingston.
