The life of this beautiful lady with the million-dollar smile started this side of heaven on June 17, 1951.
Polly joined her Lord and Savior for all eternity on March 7, 2016 with her family by her side.
Polly was born in Havre, Montana to Delbert and Louise Schnitzmeier. Polly was the oldest of six and grew up working on the family farm. The family moved to Spokane, WA for Polly’s senior year of high school. She graduated from Shadle Park in 1969.
Polly started her forty-one year career in the eye care profession at the Spokane Eye Clinic where she eventually met her husband Tim. Before retiring in 2012, Polly spent the last thirty-two years working in the practice of Peter Zimmerman, MD in Idaho Falls.
Polly and Tim raised her three beautiful daughters Terra, Cindy and Michelle, which resulted in four loving grandsons, Hunter, Owen, Connor and Ian as well as two grand dogs, Yogi and Yawkey.
In order to be close to family, Polly and Tim moved to Boise in February of 2015.
Being the quintessential people person, Polly touched so many lives throughout her life and career.
