Vernalee Schneider (known to most as "BB") was born December 2, 1936 in St. Clair County, Missouri to Charles and Verna Baxter.


She graduated from Deepwater High School then went on to attend Business College in Kansas City.
She married Gene Schneider in 1957. After their marriage they moved to Raytown, Missouri.


She worked at Bell & Howell in Kansas City for 35 years as a secretary until Bell & Howell closed their Kansas City branch in 1990. After a year of retirement she went back to work at Westwood Nursing Center, MFA Oil, and Wal-Mart. Vernalee moved to Clinton where she built a new home east of town on a few acres where she, her beloved horse E.T., cat Bob, and dogs Duke and Hap lived until her death.


She belonged to Golden Valley Saddle Club and was an original member of the Henry County Sheriff's Posse. BB showed E.T. for several years in the Kaysinger horse show circuit. She was a member of the Red Hat Society, bowled in several leagues, and participated often in her very favorite activity BINGO! BB had a good time no matter what she was doing. Her rambunctious laughter was contagious. She never saw a stranger and made many friends along her journey of life.


She was preceded in death by her mom and dad, Charles and Verna, husband, Gene and brother, Charles Jr.


She is survived by her brother, Bill and his wife Phyllis, nieces; Linda Hibbs and husband Gary, Charlene Roberts and husband Dick, and Kim Baxter, nephews; Mike Baxter and wife Sheila, and Scott Baxter and wife, Julie, great-niece, Becky Goth and Joe Wilson, and the apple of her eye, great-great-niece Mariah Wilson; great nephew, Charley Goth and wife Natalie, and a sister-in-law, Lula Baxter, as well as several cousins.
