\t\t\tLeanne E. Marbarger \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Leanne E. Marbarger, 76, of Schuylkill Haven, passed away on Monday, June 29, at Reading Hospital, West Reading.<\/p>\n
Leanne was born in Pottsville on November 26, 1949, a daughter of the late John and Verna (Luckenbill) Marbarger.<\/p>\n
She was a 1967 graduate of Blue Mountain High School and graduated from the Reading Hospital School of Nursing in 1970. Leanne worked as a Registered Nurse in the Surgical ICU at Reading Hospital for 45 years, with a cardiac specialty and a passion for bedside care. Leanne always prioritized the compassionate care of all her patients and served as a respected mentor for her colleagues, and she was an invaluable source of medical knowledge for her family members and friends. <\/p>\n
Since her retirement, she has enjoyed volunteering on service trips with Team Orwigsburg, gardening, traveling, and baking delicious cookies with her granddaughter. Having grown up on a farm, Leanne was hard-working, practical, and independent, and was never afraid to ask questions or take on a big challenge. She derived great satisfaction from helping others around her. Her biggest joy in life was spending time with family and being in nature, especially watching sunsets. <\/p>\n
Leanne is survived by her two daughters, Rebecca Irelan, wife of Peter, and Kristen Zeiber; her beloved granddaughter, Ruby Irelan; three siblings, Linda Reading, Dennis Marbarger, husband of Debra, and Dean Marbarger, husband of Florence; and 4 nieces and 1 nephew and their families.<\/p>\n
In addition to her parents, Leanne was preceded in death by her nephew, Brian Marbarger, and her brother-in-law, Dwayne Reading.<\/p>\n
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Marbarger Family Farm at a later date.<\/p>\n
The family prefers remembrances in the form of contributions in Leanne\u2019s memory to Ruth Steinert Memorial SPCA in Pine Grove. <\/p>\n
