Schreiber, Mildred Leona née Loehr

Mildred was received into the arms of her Savior on Sunday, August 15, 2012, with her family at her side.

Even as her body grew weaker, her spirit remained strong, as did her love for her family and her faith in the Lord.

She was born August 6, 1925, on the Seibel homestead, Town of Empire, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin the daughter of Reinhard and Julia Seibel Loehr.

She was a graduate of Winnebago Lutheran Academy, Fond du Lac, the class of 1942, and a member of Emanuel Lutheran church, New London. Throughout her life, and especially in her later years, she was comforted by her Confirmation verse: Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

In 1948, she married John F. Hamilton at Redeemer Lutheran church, Fond du Lac.

A special thank you to Katie Peters for her dedication and devotion to our Mother's comfort. May God Bless all of you.

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling

Ein teurer ist von uns geschieden

Eine vielgeliebte Stimme schweigt

Eine Luecke ist in unserer Mitte

Die nie wird ausgefuellt.

Gottes weisheit hat unseren vielgeliebten mutter und Großmutter haus

Obwohl sie leichnam hier sanft schlummert sie seele ist in Himmel

Rest im Frieden

And Mother…. your hair looks fine!
