Obituary of Eleanor Marie Schreiber

Eleanor M. Schreiber, 92, passed away peacefully in her home, on August 10, 2012. Eleanor was born in Akron, Ohio, and graduated from East High School. She worked at Akron General Tire Company in the 1940's in the pontoon room to help the war effort. After her marriage to Walt Schreiber in 1949, she was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker. She enjoyed bowling, working in the yard and taking family photos. Pink roses were her favorite flower. She loved to cook from scratch and each meal was made with love. Many of her dishes were requested for parties, especially her potato salad, stuffed cabbages, spaghetti sauce, and pork chops. Her homemade apple pies were out of this world. She loved to get out on the dance floor with her husband, Walter, and dance all night. Eleanor was also a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary #555, the German American Club, the Croatian Club, and St. Sebastian Church. Married for 57 years, Eleanor now joins her late husband, Walter. She will live in the hearts of her son, Joe (Coleen) Schreiber; and daughter, Patty (Jim) Eaglewolf, and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her sister-in-laws Ruby and Marge Pishney. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Ed (Mildred) and Vick Pishney; sister, Elsie (Perc) Ziegler, of Akron; and brother, John Pishney of Arizona.
