Marie Sheeler (Rieman) age 87 of Wayne died on Sunday, March 21, 2010.
Marie's grandparents emigrated to the United States settling in the Buffalo, NY area. She was born and raised in Union City having graduated from Emerson High School, Union City with the Class of 1941. She continued her education at Catherine Gibbs Secretarial School, New York City. Marie was a secretary for the Union City Board of Education for several years before marrying and moving to Wayne in 1953.
She met the love of her life Frederick Sheeler while summering in Point Pleasant. They bought a wedding ring while vacationing in Washington D.C., married on June 28, 1952 at St. Michaels RC Church, Union City and honeymooned in Charleston, South Carolina. They have had a loving and caring marriage for fifty eight years.
Marie was a selfless mother who would drive her boys everywhere. On the occasion of John F. Kennedy's assassination the children were all let out of school early. A friend alerted her son Richard that his mom was on the sidewalk handing out jelly doughnuts. He sprinted for the house hoping to get one himself only to find she had run out. When asked why she was doing that she replied "I didn't want the kids to be sad about the President's assassination". She was an avid bowler in area leagues up until the mid 1990's, swam as an aquanaut, and was proud of her match-making ability. She was also dedicated to her grandchildren and relished in their accomplishments.
She was the loving wife of Frederick Sheeler; devoted mother of Richard Sheeler and his wife Kris of Franklin Lakes and Robert Sheeler of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Peter, Jeffrey and Adrienne Sheeler and loved sister of the late Clarence James and Frank Rieman.
