Madora Greeley Obituary
Madora M. Greeley, 101, passed away on August 21, 2025, in Myerstown, PA. Madora Greeley was born on February 5, 1924 in Annville, PA, to Ervin and Blanche Schell. After high school, she enjoyed a career as a dietician for the Lebanon VA Medical Center. As one might expect of someone in her field, Madora was blessedly healthy even as a centenarian! Madora married Earl A. Greeley, and the couple had one child: Donna Shepler of Palmyra, PA. Madora was a delight to all who knew her, touching the lives of her professional care team at the end of her life. She enjoyed crocheting, and decorating her room with cute and quirky animal figurines. Madora is survived by daughter Donna (James) Shepler; two grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Madora is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Earl Greeley. Services will be held at the convenience of the family.
