____________________
Nancy was the daughter of Dorothy and Paul Schneider. Her brother Robert was 8-1/2 years older so Nancy was, by definition, the spoiled little sister. Instead she was the beloved sister, devoted friend and youngest of her 16 first cousins in a very large family. Her marriage to Steve Weinreich lasted for 52 wonderful years. Their children David and Jill were her pride and joy. They lost David in 2009 and that sadness never left her...it never does but Nancy had a strong constitution and made a good life for the family. Her breast cancer later, and broken femurs put her stamina to the test. She made the best of Jill's life in Venice (so distant from here) and we qvelled at her happiness and business success and marriage to Andrea. He was worth the wait.
Nancy knew that her December diagnosis was grim but she opted to plow ahead with treatment that might make the difference in her health future. She chose to live but God had other plans. She never gave up but knew that the strenuous treatment which was her lot would be too hard to handle so she hoped that hospice would give her the kind and loving care she needed...and it did. We can't thank them enough for the skill that made her end of life path tolerable.
What is so sad about the nightmare of pancreatic cancer is that the future is bleak. Nancy would have liked nothing better than to continue with the life, friends, and family she loved. But it is memories of her kindnesses, sweetness and dedicated work with children will last beyond this sad day. The hundreds of children who crossed Nancy's teaching path still remember Miss Nancy at Shaare Emeth Nursery school for over 9 years and Mrs. W at the Ladue District Elementary schools for over 25 years. Many of those Old Bonhomme students are the very children whose parents where her preschool students years before. She loved telling the Old Bonhomme pupils that she knew their parents and grand parents. The promise of a note home kept some kids in line from time to time. Nancy was too kind to follow through with those promises. She loved the kids and that warmth was exchanged in kind with hugs.
The teachers with whom she worked on a daily basis at Shaare Emeth and Old Bonhomme were not only coworkers but became friends over time. Nancy was older than most of her coworkers and that seniority brought a maturity to the staffs that would benefit the students.
One of Nancy's claim to fame within the Ladue schools was her committee chairmanship as an active parent to investigate and secure Mac computers for the first time for the district. This would lead Ladue into the technological future.
A lovable elementary 2nd grade student was beset with several social fears at home yet Nancy's care for her student and a special teddy bear gift made all the difference in her 2nd grade year. That student is now a college graduate, has taken the bear on her personal educational journey and is on her way to a journalistic career and still talks about the bear.
Between teaching roles, Nancy and Steve worked together in business. Nancy's warm and convincing voice on the phone secured valuable selling appointments. Their business grew and was successful because of Nancy's involvement.

The parents and many teachers from the Old Bonhomme Elementary School where Nancy substituted for over 25 years purchased and dedicated a memorial ginkgo tree in her name (see photos). The tree is just beginning to bud and Spring brings renewal and sweet memories of Nancy. As the plaque says, "BELOVED SUBSTITUTE TEACHER".
