Leo Schreiner

Leo Anthony Schreiner, 93, Topeka, Kansas, passed away Wednesday April 3, 2024. Leo was born December 6, 1930, to Leo and Lidwina Riedel Schreiner in Morland, Kansas. He married Jeanette Marie Moritz on May 24, 1952, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, enjoying almost 72 years together. Leo served our country for nine years in the Kansas National Guard. He was employed by Hallmark Cards and retired as a manager in 1990 after more than 40 years. Leo had several hobbies, including maintaining a small farm and garden, canning his own vegetables, making his own wine and beer, woodworking, cooking, camping and fishing. Leo was a third degree Knight of Columbus. He and Jeanette lead many grand marches at German wedding dances. Leo was a devoted family man, who was always there for his family. He spent countless hours building his home and helping brothers build theirs. Leo was also a pheasant hunter. He was a member of the Long Feathers of St. Peter’s, Kansas. These Hunters travelled in a pack. Brothers, sons, cousin, uncles, and friends all gathering in the small town of St. Peter’s, Kansas, for a weekend of hunting, food, good times, and much laughter. Leo travelled west every November for many, many years, until it just wasn’t possible to keep up in the fields anymore. Leo is survived by his wife, Jeanette; children, Linda (Mike) Knudson, Joyce Tenbrink, Leo (Robin) Schreiner, and Gary (Julie Thomas) Schreiner; ten grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, 2 step-great-grandchildren; siblings, Ben (Beverly) Schreiner, Marvin (Judy) Schreiner, and Mary Ann Didier; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
