BERNARD JOHN SCHREIBER
AGE 83 YEARS
Bernard J. "Bernie" Schreiber, of 239 Ford Rd., St. Marys, died peacefully Friday, April 1, 2016 at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born Feb. 28, 1933, a son of the late Bernard and Caroline Schutz Schreiber.
On Aug. 8, 1998 in St. Marys, he married Elizabeth Schloder Schreiber, who survives.
Bernie was a lifelong resident of the area and a member of Queen of the World Church.
He retired from St. Marys Carbon after more than 43 years of service. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1953-1957 during the Korean War.
He enjoyed fishing, hunting, playing cards and going to camp. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife for the reunions of the ships he had served on during the war.
He was an avid woodworker and years ago was a member of the Colts baseball team.
His greatest pride and passion came from his garden, where he could always be found tending to his tomato plants.
His green thumb produced many crops that he enjoyed taking to the farmer's market.
In addition to his wife, Elizabeth Schloder Schreiber,
he is survived by a son, Benjamin (Diane) Schreiber of St. Marys; four stepdaughters, Amy of Port Matilda, Lori of St. Marys, Roxanne of Kersey and Tracey of Johnsonburg; two stepsons, Dean of Morgantown, W. Va. and Michael of St. Marys; 18 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; a brother, Gary of St. Marys; three sisters, Alice of Nashville, Tenn., Donna of St. Marys, and Betty of Johnsonburg.
In addition to his parents and his second wife, Georgia Steele, he was preceded in death by a son, John Schreiber in 1972; a stepson, Cory Steele; and by a brother, James "Pee Wee" Schreiber.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Bernard J. Schreiber will be celebrated at Queen of the World Church, St. Marys with Rev. Richard Allen, pastor, officiating.
Full military honors will be accorded by the St. Marys Servicemen's Burial Detail.
Interment will be in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery.
