Mabel married the love of her life, Aloys Schreifels, on May 22, 1947. They made their home in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where they raised two children, Jim and Ruth. Mabel was a dedicated employee at St. Cloud Hospital, where she worked for 20 years before enjoying a well-earned retirement.

A woman of many talents, Mabel spent her free time traveling, gardening, and quilting with the ladies at St. Anthony’s. She was known for her delicious baked goods and her competitive spirit in Scrabble. Mabel’s greatest joy came from spending time with her children, grandchildren, siblings, and friends.

After living in her home until age 96 on 23rd Street NE in St. Cloud, Mabel moved to St. Benedict Village where she continued to live independently. There, she embraced her new community, enjoying daily activities, wine time, and weekly family lunches. She especially cherished trips to the family cabin.

Mabel is survived by her son Jim (Char) Schreifels of St. Cloud; granddaughter Gretchen (Shannon) Bieniek of St. Joseph; grandson Derek (DuWayne) James of Otsego, MN; grandsons Ryan (Jessica) Davidson of St. Joseph, MN, and Chris Davidson of Littleton, CO; as well as numerous great-grandchildren, Zoey and Zander Bieniek, Aleena and Kadyn Davidson and great-great-grandchildren, Nolan and Sophia Schliesing. She is also survived by her beloved brothers Joe (Delia) Warneke, Bob (Sherry) Warneke, (Bob past after Mabel on September 3, 2024) and Dan (Judy) Warneke.

Mabel’s kindness and unwavering love for her family and friends were the hallmarks of her long and fulfilling life. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

May she rest in peace.
