Ursula Schnobel

Mrs. Ursula Schnobel, a long-time resident of Bay City, died peacefully during the early morning hours of Friday, April 3, 2020, at her residence at New Hope Bay Assisted Living Center in Bay City.
Mrs. Schnobel was born near Warsaw, Poland on February 14, 1925. She attended private schools there until the family was repatriated to Lower Saxony in northern Germany during World War II, where she met Anton Schnobel shortly after the end of the war. They were married on September 30, 1950 and emigrated to Michigan in 1955.
Mrs. Schnobel is survived by her three children and their spouses, Liliana Valk, Violetta and Douglas C. Smith, and Timothy and Linda Schnobel; by her grandchildren, Eric Ososki, Angela Schoof, Anthony Schnobel, Katherine Netter, and Nicholas Schnobel; and by great-grandchildren, Madeline, Kaline and Lillian Schoof. She is also survived by her younger sisters, Brunhilde Kolm of Flint, and Anneliese Kirchner and Dagmar Heine of Germany, as well as her brother, Gustav Pletz of Dallas, Texas, along with a number of nieces and nephews in Germany and the United States. She was predeceased by her husband Anton Schnobel, as well as her son-in-law, Donald Valk.
Mrs. Schnobel will be privately interred next to her husband at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Bay City, Michigan on April 8, 2020. A more inclusive memorial service will take place at a later time this year.
