Bethel Schneebeck and her late husband Edwin Schneebeck have generously supported the University of Puget Sound for decades. In recognition of Mrs. Schneebeck’s latest gift and the family’s ongoing commitment to Puget Sound, in 2002 the university named its main music performance venue in honor of the Schneebecks, who also were major contributors to the construction of the Fritts organ in Kilworth Chapel, dedicated in 1989. Mrs. Schneebeck is the mother and grandmother of Puget Sound graduates, and in 1982 she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Arts degree.
