Donna M. Schneider, 65, of Huntley, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2025.
Donna was born on September 29, 1960, the daughter of Arthur and Clementine Schneider. She spent many years working for AT&T, where she was known for her dedication and strong work ethic.
Donna found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved gardening and yard work, took pride in cooking and entertaining, and made everyone feel welcome in her home. Time spent with family meant everything to her, as did the companionship of her beloved dog. Her warmth, generosity, and open heart left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
She was a loving sister, aunt, and friend, and she will be deeply missed.
Donna is survived by her brothers, Jim (Lana) Schneider and Bill (Rita) Schneider; her sister, JoAnn Shields; nieces: Alison, Laura, Katie and Jessica nephews: Andrew and Jason; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She is also survived by her devoted partner and significant other of twenty years, Jeff Lehman, and his son, Derek.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
