Obituary For Patricia Schneider
With heavy hearts, the family of Patricia Schneider of Grande Prairie, Alberta, announces her passing on Monday, July 20, 2026, at the age of 92.
Pat was born and raised in the lower mainland of British Columbia, where she met Harry Schneider, the love of her life. Following high school, Harry and Pat moved east, married, and then Harry joined the RCAF. Before being stationed in Germany, they were blessed with their daughter, Linda, and a couple years later, before returning to Canada, they welcomed their second daughter, Robin. Eventually they moved to Alberta, and after a few moves around the province, they settled in Grande Prairie in the summer of 1963, where they remained until their deaths.
Pat was a devout Christian and actively involved in church life until her mid-80s. She volunteered at the Grande Prairie QEII Hospital for 45 years and enjoyed time in her garden or visiting with friends. She travelled extensively with Harry while they owned Roblyn’s Travel from 1974 until 1991.
Pat will be lovingly remembered and missed by her daughter, Linda Bombak; her daughter, Robin Bennett; son-in-law John Bennett; grandson Father Michael Bombak (Kim); five great-grandchildren (Tobias, Miriam, Georgia, Philomena, and Ignatius); granddaughter Dr. Andrea Bombak; as well as several nieces, nephews, other family members, and many dear friends.
Pat was predeceased by her husband, Harry (2007); her nephew, Don Lindsay (2017); her youngest sister, Fernne Brunet (2023); along with the rest of her siblings, other family members, and many good friends.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and support staff from the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital, Mackenzie Place, and Wild Rose Manor for taking such wonderful care of our mother over the past number of years.
At Pat’s request, there will not be a funeral.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a charitable donation of your choice.

I was introduced to Pat & Harry by my in-laws, Elmer & Lily Sather. They were next door neighbours for several years. A closer relationship ensued when Pat shared love and friendship with me through our mutual membership at Forbes Presbyterian, and letter writing when Wild Rose Manor became her residence. Thanks be to God for the deep faith He gifted Pat with. Naida Sather

Hi Robin. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was always lovely every time I seen her. We attended a lot of interfaith events over the years and she was always smiling. I always remember your parents from our early years in the Swanavon neighborhood, what happy times they were. I am sending you love and prayers Your friend Candace Mahaffey

Robin and Linda, I offer my condolences. My mom and Patricia were fast friends over the years, and I remember her counsel when my father passed. Her faith was a cornerstone of who she was, and guided her life and decisions. I stopped to see her while visiting in Grande Prairie and she told me she had a million memories that kept her content. I know she is at rest and with her beloved Harry. I am thinking of you both. Lark Balmer (Campbell)
