History
Helena Schneider was community builder and volunteer born in Berlin (no Kitchener) Ontario on November 1, 1859 to parents Charles Andrew Ahrens and Charlotte Henrietta Roth at the family home on Queen Street. Helena married John Metz Schneider of Berlin on November 8th, 1883. The couple had five children: Charles Alexander; Herbert John; Norman Christoph; Frederick Henry and Emma Louise. John was the founder of J.M. Schneider Limited; he began making and selling sausages around 1890 from their home after an injury prohibited him from working at his job at a button factory.
Helena was an active member of the Good Shepherd church, the Ladies Auxiliary and of the Independent Dorcas Society and the Kitchener Red Cross. She served for a number of years on the Kitchener Orphanage Board, and was active in relief work, particularly during the depression years. Helena died on November 3rd, 1944 and is entombed at Woodland Cemetery, Kitchener with her husband who died in 1942.
