Obituary for ELDRIDGE


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday September 13, 2009

Anne Marie (Schneider) Eldridge died peacefully at home September 2, 2009 after a long bout with cancer. She was born in Gallup, NM January 12, 1960 but lived most of her life in Albuquerque. Anne worked with young children as an educator at a number of places, including home-schooling, Children's Museum of Albq, Rio Grande Nature Ctr, NM Museum of Natural History, Univ of NM and Albq Public Schools. Exceptionally talented in arts & crafts, she was modest to a fault. The family expresses deep gratitude to the staff at both Lovelace St Joseph Oncology Clinic (you treated us like family) and Vista Care Hospice (you enabled Anne to die with dignity). Anne is survived by her husband of 27 years, Roger, of Albq; son Bryce and his wife Brandy of Minneapolis, MN; and daughter Kaye of Albq; mother Nancy Dover and her husband Ed of Albq; father Dirk Schneider and his wife Carolyn of Las Vegas, NV; brother Kenneth and his wife Deborah of Peralta, NM; sister Susan Baca and her husband Frank of Albq; sister Wendy Roberts of Albq; and numerous nieces & nephews, most of Albq. A memorial service will be held Saturday October 10, 2009 at 2:00 pm at 1st Unitarian Church of Albq. Instead of flowers, donations in memory of Anne may be made to Roadrunner Food Bank of NM, 5840 Office Blvd NE, Albq, NM 87109, 247-2052.
