Jeanene Christensen Schreiber Obituary (1933

Jeanene Christensen Schreiber passed away on February 6, 2020, at the age of 86 surrounded by her husband and children. Jeanene is survived by her loving husband Del, of over 67 years, and her six children: Jeff, Dellene, Leslie, Tracy, Mindy, and Kristie; 13 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Born December 13, 1933, to Evelyn and Calvin Christensen, she was a high energy person who loved to sing, draw and taught herself to be an amazing seamstress. She found her soul mate and partner at the age of 18. Together they worked to make a beautiful and loving home for their children. She was a very active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings within the church. She sang in the church choir and led the congregation during the hymns. Jeanene will always be remembered for the tremendous love for her children, her husband, her music and the angelic voice that would fill her home and family’s heart with joy. Jeanene also had a wonderful talent for drawing and crafting that she enjoyed for her entire life. She always loved talking to new people, and you were blessed to be considered her friend. In her later years, when Alzheimer’s robbed her of her memory and ability to verbally communicate, she never lost her fight for what she wanted and let this show in her ways until the end. She taught each of her children so many different and enduring things that can be seen in each one’s personality. The only thing she never taught them was how to live without her and she will be greatly missed and always loved. We would like to thank Chantelle and Norma from Hospice for Utah for their compassionate care for mom and the staff at Wentworth at Coventry, Memory Care for their loving care while she was there. Graveside services will be held at 12:30 p.m., Saturday, February 15, 2020 at the Orem City Cemetery, 1520 North 800 East, Orem, Utah. Friends are invited to share her life at the Berg Orem Chapel, 500 North State Street, Orem, Utah from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. prior to services at the cemetery.
