Alice C. Schneider, 68, of Rockland Township, passed away in her sleep on Saturday, September 24, 2016, at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Allentown, after a courageous battle with cancer. Alice was the loving and devoted wife of Allan H. Steinfeld. They were married on May 17, 1987.

She was with them for over 26 years as the Information Technology Director. Alice retired in 2004. Also, an artist, Alice enjoyed making pottery. She spent countless hours volunteering her time and efforts to One-by-One no-kill Cat Shelter, Kutztown.
