  Elizabeth Schreiber 
   
  CORNWALL Elizabeth "Betty" Schreiber, 87, Cornwall Manor, died peacefully on 
  Saturday, December 10, 2011, at the Good Samaritan Hospital. Betty lived a 
  rich, full life revolving around her faith, family, career as a nurse, and 
  many wonderful friendships. She was born and raised in Bethlehem, daughter of 
  the late Mabel and Francis Rowe. She graduated from Bethlehem Catholic High 
  School and Sacred Heart School of Nursing in Allentown. She received her 
  nursing education as a member of the Cadet Corps during WWII. Following 
  nursing school, Betty relocated to Lebanon for employment at the Lebanon VA 
  Hospital. It was shortly after coming to Lebanon that she met and married the 
  late Edward Schreiber. Together Betty and Ed raised three children, Mary 
  Schreiber, Lititz, PA, Jeanne, married to Greg Saunders, Allentown, and the 
  late Edward Schreiber, Lebanon. She cherished being Grandma Betty to her dear 
  granddaughters, Keara and Maggie Saunders; and was Aunt Betty to many nieces 
  and nephews and great and great-great-nieces and nephews. She also had many 
  Godchildren. She is survived by a brother, Thomas Rowe, Delray, Fla., and was 
  preceded in death by a sister, Margaret Johnson. Betty was a member of St. 
  Cecilia's Catholic Church and also attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She 
  was comforted in her last days knowing she received the Sacrament of the Sick 
  as well as the prayers of many people. Being a nurse was an important role for 
  Betty. She retired from the VA Medical Center as a head nurse and also worked 
  at the Good Samaritan Hospital and Cedar Haven. She was very proud of her 
  accomplishment of obtaining a BSN degree from Millersville University while in 
  her 40's. It was very meaningful to her that her son Eddie, several nieces, a 
  great niece, and a nephew followed in her footsteps as nurses. Betty was 
  always quite social and active. She and Ed enjoyed dining out and traveling. 
  She volunteered at the Good Samaritan Hospital and the Red Cross, was a member 
  of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, Verbena Club, 
  Friendship Fire Company, Good Samaritan Hospital Alumni Association, and Beta 
  Sigma Phi Sorority, chapter Alpha Epsilon Master. Her interests included 
  reading, bingo, the Game Show Network, and trips to the casino. She was a 
  great baker, known for her Red Velvet Cake, and she enjoyed baking treats to 
  give to family and friends. In retirement she became a world traveler, going 
  to Japan, England, Turkey, Germany, Italy, and Scotland. She also enjoyed 
  cruises and bus trips with her good friends. Betty was well loved and had a 
  kind, generous spirit. She will be deeply missed.  Funeral Mass Thursday 10
