The Rev. Harold E. Schaible was born May 6, 1923, in Altamont, N.Y. to Frederick and Blanche (Severson) Schaible.
A lifetime of service to others started with the Army in 1943, after he was drafted out of college. He was deployed to Africa, where he completed three months of training to become a combat medic, serving in that capacity until his discharge in October, 1945. He was awarded a Purple Heart with oakleaf clusters and the Combat Medic Badge for his service in World War II.
After the war, he attended Hope College in Holland, Mich., where he met Marian Palen. The couple were married Sept. 12, 1947, in Kingston, N.Y.
His seminary studies were started at New Brunswick Theological Seminary in New Jersey, and finished at Hartford Theological Seminary in Connecticut. A minister for 51 years, his message was about God’s love for us and within us. He served churches in New York, Connecticut, Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. He served the Blair United Church of Christ in the mid-1960s and returned here for retirement. He was pastor emeritus of St. John’s UCC in Griswold, Iowa.
Along with his ministry, Rev. Schaible also served the communities in which he lived. He was chaplain for the Standford, N.Y., Fire Company; set up 911 and EMTA services in Pierce, Neb.; was active in church choirs and functions; was “grandfather” and librarian of the San Marcus Symphony in Arizona.
Love was the core of his life; love of God, family, country, friends, music and horses. He was a true example of someone who could give unconditional love and acceptance.
He is survived by his wife, Marian
He was preceded in death by one son, Jody M. Schaible.
