Joan was born in Akron, Ohio on August 5, 1943 to the late Russell Ernest Phillips and the late Shirley Naomi Wolfe Phillips. She was lovingly married to Felix Schneider. Joan worked as an office clerk at Walgreens for many years. She enjoyed doing flower arrangements and loved animals and spending time at home.
