Mary Irene Geis Schubert, 79, passed away on July 18, 2019 at Gino J. Merli’s Veterans Center in Scranton, PA after a five year courageous struggle of the after effects of three strokes she endured. She shared 51 years of marriage with her late husband, Francis “Frank” K. Schubert.

Born in Pittsburgh PA, she was the daughter of the late Edwin Geis and Ann Clark. She was a member of Our Lady of the Abingtons church before her illness. She was an avid reader, enjoyed playing bingo with her friends, scratch off lottery tickets and participating  in the Little Brown Jug’s shuffleboard league.

The family would like to thank the staff at Lithia Valley Manor, Dunmore Health Care Center, Gino J. Merli Veterans Center and Allied Hospice for the care and concern that each of them gave to her over the past five years.
