Martha Lavina (Hutcheson) Schneirla

Martha “Marti” Lavina Schneirla, 71, of Marshall, Arkansas, peacefully passed away at her home with her husband and daughter by her side on March 25, 2026.  She was born on February 17, 1955, in Dimmitt, Texas, the daughter of Hays Hutcheson and Norma (Powell) Hutcheson.

Marti has been the loving wife of Ted Schneirla for the past 54 years…they met when they were 12 and 13 years old and have spent a lifetime loving each other and building their dreams together.  There was nothing in this world that they would rather do than to be together, whatever they did, they did it together.

Marti was a teacher at heart, her relationship with the Heavenly Father was always her light, guide and strength.  She studied God’s word diligently each day and tried to honor His Commandments.  Shabbat was her favorite day of the week to read Torah and worship Him with all her heart. 

She is survived by her husband Ted, her son Shawn and his wife Keri and daughter Tessa, seven grandchildren; Tailor, Zack, Andy, Teddy, Cheyenne, Jace and Gavin who all have wonderful memories with their grandparents.  Also, Marti leaves behind five great grandchildren; Isiah, Octavya, Baily, Cody and Emmett, they also have made fantastic memories with their grandparents.  Marti was the youngest sibling of five; Hays, Debra, Belinda, and Virginia and they are all still living.     

Marti will be reunited with her parents Hays and Norma Hutcheson, Walt and Arline Schneirla, her brothers Mike, Russ and Jerry in Paradise.  Marti had such a big heart, she referred to her brothers-in-laws as her brothers. 

The only love greater than her love for her husband and family, is her love for our Heavenly Father and His Son Yeshua.  She spent her whole life devoted to the Heavenly Father, we are assured she is in Paradise with Yeshua, our Savior and all her loved ones. 

She will be missed more than anyone could possibly imagine, but we strive on to be faithful to our God so that we will see her again.  May this moment be marked not only by sorrow, but by the sacred beauty of reunion-the promise that in Yeshua, death is not the end but the doorway to eternal life. 

Arrangements are under the care of Diamond State Cremation located in Lead Hill, Arkansas.
