Donna Lea (Stone) Schneider, age 78, of Lexington, Ky passed away peacefully on June 2nd, 2021. Donna is survived by her sister Joanne Ott [Rex] of Burlington, IA; her son Augustine Patrick and wife Emily Schneider along with her beloved grandchildren Alice Parker, Molly Mae, and Ezra Patrick of Richmond, KY. She was preceded in death by her parents Max Osman and Lucille Margaret (Gracey) Stone of Burlington, IA; her husband, Dr. Pat Schneider; and her son Eric Alan Schneider. Donna was born in Burlington, IA. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a Masters degree and was a licensed Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Donna worked as an Oncology nurse for 10 years in Iowa before marrying Dr. Pat Schneider. They moved to Lexington, Ky in 1987 to start their own medical practice at St. Joseph office park. Donna worked alongside Pat as his nurse for over 25 years. Donna tried to retire several times, but we all knew Pat would not be able to run the clinic without her by his side. Donna genuinely cared about their patients, often staying long after their appointments were over to chat. She was also a long-time member of Christ the King. On the weekends, after she slept in, you could find her by the pool or in her flower garden. Donna was also an accomplished quilter and an admittedly terrible baker. She loved Coca-Cola, lobster, and her red sportscars. Roman Catholic Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Christ the King Cathedral in Lexington, KY on Friday, June 11th at 10:30 AM followed by a graveside service at Calvary Cemetery, Lexington, KY. The family would like to thank the staff at Telford Terrace in Richmond, KY for their diligent and thoughtful care over the last four years of Donna's life.
