Sedonia Margaret Teicher was born June 6, 1924 in Lucan to Michael and Anna (Frank) Teicher. She was raised in Springfield and graduated from Springfield high school in 1943. On June 24, 1946, Sedonia was united in marriage to Eldor George Schnobrich Sr. at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity Church in New Ulm. This union blessed the couple with 3 sons and 6 daughters whom together they raised in New Ulm. With a full house at home, Sedonia still managed to work full time. She worked various jobs throughout the years but spent the most time, 26 years, with Panasote/BF Goodrich, where she retired from in 1986. Sedonia was a wonderful mother and friend. She was a strong woman and a hard worker. She enjoyed music, especially Danny O’Donnell, whom she had seen in concert over 10 times, reading, playing cards and tile rummy, time spent with her grandchildren, and dancing. When walking was sometimes challenging, Sedonia was still always up for a dance to some good polka. Sedonia was a lifelong member of Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and a long-time member of the Christian Mothers. Sedonia was fortunate to live a long life where countless memories were made with her large, beloved family. She will be missed dearly by all who loved her. Blessed be her memory.

In lieu of flowers memorials preferred to New Ulm Area Catholic Schools, Way of the Cross, or American Cancer Society.
