PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Lenore S. Muir (nee: Schiebler), 87, recently of Rhode Island and formerly of Reading, Pennsylvania; Saco, Maine; Carver, Massachusetts; Manhattan, New York, and Hamburg Pennsylvania, died Monday, Feb. 27, 2017, peacefully at home after a long illness surrounded by her loving family.
Born in 1929, she was the daughter of Alwin R. Schiebler and Charlotte E. Schiebler (nee Schmöle) of Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
Lenore is preceded in death by: her brother, Klaus Schiebler: former spouse, Robert F. Muir; and son, Ronald L. Muir.
Lenore was 10th in her class at Hamburg High School, an avid gardener, reader, and devoted mother and grandmother. Lenore went to nursing school at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Lenore had a career as a registered nurse working in the New York City school system, Mayflower Care in Carver, Massachusetts, and at the Sweetser Home in Saco, before retiring.
Lenore was a loving mother who had a generous heart, and an indomitable spirit, overcoming many difficult obstacles in her life’s journey — a spirit she passed on to her sons and grandchildren.
