UDITH CAROL 
(CALFIN) 
SCHNEIDER passed 
away peacefully on Jan. 14, 
2023. 
Born Nov. 5, 1938, Judy 
attended Pasteur Elementary 
School as a child, 
a school her chil-
dren, Stephanie and 
Craig, attended, 
and where, later 
in life, she became 
a member of the 
board of trustees 
and often volun-
teered to read to 
the students. 
Judy attended Mumford 
High School in Detroit and 
went on to undergradu-
ate studies at Wayne State 
University, graduating in 
1960. After graduation, 
she worked as both an 
elementary school and 
adult English as a Second 
Language teacher. She 
later returned to school 
to receive her master’s in 
social work from Wayne 
State University in 1982, 
after which she set up pri-
vate practice supporting 
countless clients over a 30+ 
year career. She continued 
to give back to the commu-
nity through mentorship 
and volunteer engagements. 
As a longtime member 
of the Birmingham Temple 
(now the Congregation 
for Humanistic Judaism of 
Metro Detroit), Judy found-
ed the Interfaith Marriage 
workshop program and 
acted in and directed count-
less theatrical productions 
at the temple and taught 
Sunday school. 
Judy was a beautiful, lov-
ing and creative spirit who 
gave so much to her family, 
friends, community and to 

all who knew her. Artist, 
actor, therapist, listener, 
supporter, pet lover and care-
giver, Judy was never at a loss 
for the right thing to say or 
the right action to take to be 
of service to all those around 
her. Her memo-
ry will continue 
to enrich and 
enlighten us all. 
She was the 
beloved wife 
for 57 years of 
Morton Schneider; 
cherished moth-
er of Stephanie 
Schneider-
Zenna and Craig Schneider 
(Jacqueline Musich); proud 
nana of Cole Schneider, 
Samuel Zenna, Elias Beser, 
Harrison Zenna and Alana 
Schneider; loving sister-in-
law of Beverly Schneider 
and Harold (Butchie) Dunn; 
other loving relatives, and a 
world of friends.
Mrs. Schneider was the 
devoted daughter of the late 
Samuel and the late Fanny 
Calfin; dear sister of the late 
Barbara “Bobbi” Dunn. 
A celebration of life will 
take place on Friday, Jan. 
27, at 11a.m. EST at the 
Congregation for Humanistic 
Judaism of Metro Detroit,
