Colleen Phyllis Schneider, age 79, of Kenosha, passed away on Sunday, February 21, 2016 at UHS-St. Catherine’s Campus, following a fearless battle with cancer.

On June 11, 1954, she was united in marriage to James Schneider and they were blessed with ten children and 61 years of marriage.
Phyllis was employed with K-Mart, retiring after almost 25 years.
She was a member of the Kenosha Women of the Moose Chapter #155, where she enjoyed playing Euchre. She also loved baking, traveling and spending time watching her grandchildren. Phyllis was known for her ability to tell a great joke, proudly showing her mouse tattoo and keeping her home picture perfect.
