Georgia Marie Schreiber, 92, went to meet Jesus on February 17, 2025. She was born in Shiner, Texas, on January 9, 1933, and graduated from St. Ludmila’s Academy there. She lived in Shiner until her marriage to Marvin Schreiber in 1953. Georgia was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Clara Kouba; her husband, Marvin; her two infant brothers, Leon and Alvin Kouba; and her sister, Lydia Hobbs. Georgia is survived by her brothers, Stanley Kouba and Joe Kouba; her sister, Henrietta Lipiec; and her sisters-in-law, Mabel Picha and Sandi Schreiber. Georgia has seven children: Mary Lou Roemer (Macon), Carol Schindler (Alan), Kenny Schreiber, Patty Reyes (Ken), Karen Pesek, Tim Schreiber, and Rose Stevens (Michael). Fifteen grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren also survive their Meemaw. Georgia was blessed with numerous nieces and nephews who call her “Aunt”. Georgia was dedicated to her faith and to her church. She instilled those values in her children by sending them to St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School for their early education. Later, she and Marvin became active at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church and made lifelong friends through Marvin’s membership in the Knights of Columbus. Georgia spent her child rearing years keeping her children involved in 4-H activities. With 7 children in the span of 9 years, that was a herculean effort that she pulled off admirably. After her children were grown, Georgia worked for a time in the archives at the Oblate Seminary, and she also made and decorated cakes of all kinds. You were a lucky person if you had a birthday cake or wedding cake made by Georgia. Marvin and Georgia became fast friends with Grady and Faye Cowart of Grady’s BBQ and enjoyed their time spent with the Cowarts as friends and coworkers. Georgia was loved by many and will be deeply missed by her family and her friends. Visitation will take place at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 3303 Urban Crest Dr, on Thursday, March 13, at 5:30 p.m. followed by the recitation of the Rosary at 6:30 p.m. The Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated on Friday, March 14, at 9:15 a.m. at St. Pius X followed by interment at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. A lunch reception will then be held at St. Pius X Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at St. Pius X, Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto, or a charity of your choice. The family members extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Brookdale Nacogdoches and Magnolia Hospice who so lovingly cared for Georgia. The compassion shown to her and her family members will long be remembered. Each of them will always hold a place in our hearts.
