December 21, 1951 – July 13, 2024

Helen was born in El Paso on December 21, 1951, to Elva and Ernesto Gallego, and passed away in Warmsroth, Germany, with her beloved ones by her side on July 13, 2024.

Helen followed her heart in faith that led her to Bible College in Kansas, where she would meet her future husband, Wolfgang Schneider. The two married on July 18, 1980, in Kansas, following graduation.

They moved to Germany, where Helen and her husband would begin

their ministry. Helen’s focus was working within the church, coordinating events, attending women’s fellowship, and organizing activities for the children. She became a mentor to new parents. She was President of the American Women’s Group (later International Women’s Group).

Helen was an avid reader, loved movies, and was a big sports fan like our mother. Helen was a gracious host who loved family and friends gathering. She had love in her heart for all.

Helen is survived by her husband, Wolfgang, children Johannes (Michelle) and Andrea (Dennis), her precious grandchildren Emily, Charlotte, and Juliette, and her siblings Nancy, Gloria, Barbara, Roy, and many nieces and nephews. We love and miss you with all our hearts.

A memorial service will be held at the Holy Angels Cemetery in Alpine on July 12 at 10 a.m.
