Suzanna Schneider

Suzanna Schneider, age 70, passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully in her sleep, on October 22, 2026. She was born to the late Stephen and Annamae Manchak. She spent most of her high school years walking the halls of Buckeye High School before ultimately graduating from Cloverleaf High School in 1974. It was during these high school years that she met her sweetheart, James. High school sweethearts from the start, Sue and Jim went on to share 49 beautiful years of marriage. Together, they built and ran Jim's Maintenance Service, where Sue worked tirelessly as the company's Administrator. Her strong work ethic was a constant throughout her life, with a career that also spanned commercial cooking, machine shop management, and factory maintenance administration. 

Fiercely strong-willed, she was always willing to show up if any loved one needed her. Sue was the heart of her family. She will be fondly remembered for her deep love for the holidays, the simple joy she found riding in the Jeep, taking care of the yard work, and tending to her gardening and flowers. Come Friday night, she was always ready to relax and have a good time. Sue treasured her "dear sisters" and shared a uniquely joyful bond with her youngest sister, Tammy—the two were inseparable best buds and the absolute best pranksters of the family. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Stephen and Annamae Manchak; and her brothers, Matthew, and her twin, Stephen. 

Suzanna is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, James; her beloved sons, Adam and Christopher; and her loving sisters, Deborah Gregory Lorenzen, Rebecca McClaning (the late Leslie), and Tamara Manchak. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.waitefuneralhome.com.
