Knight of Baha'u'llah
Elise Schreiber Lynelle passed away on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012, in Grass Valley and was laid to rest at Forest View Cemetery in Nevada City.
A memorial service is planned at 10 a.m. Sunday, March 18, 2012 in Nevada City.
Born in Chicago on Sept. 12, 1925, to Nathan and Bernice Schreiber, she grew up in Downers Grove, Ill. In 1950, after graduating from the National Teachers College in Evanston, Ill., Elise moved to Southern California, where she taught elementary school and sang in the San Diego Light Opera. She later obtained a Master's Degree in drama from California State University, Sacramento.
A gifted singer, she gathered compositions of sacred music from many parts of the world and in 1966 released an album, "Songs of the New Age."
In the early 1950s, Elise began her solo travels, first moving to Colombia, South America, where she taught English as a second language and founded the Academia y Club de Nueve Idiomas, serving as its director. Next she visited São Tomé and Príncipe and Equatorial Guinea in Africa where she introduced the teachings of the Bahaíi Faith, of which she was a dedicated adherent.
Returning from Africa, Elise went to Montgomery, Ala., taught elementary school, and gave numerous radio interviews on the Bahá'í Faith. At that time, Montgomery was in the throes of great social unrest following the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1954. Elise met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who offered his church for some of her meetings, and where she gave talks to his congregation.
Following her father's death in 1962, she moved to Nevada City. Her parents had been the first Bahá'ís in Nevada County, and Elise continued teaching the Bahaíi Faith throughout the rest of her life.
She is survived by her two brothers, David and Eugene Schreiber, both of Hawaii; and numerous nieces and nephews.
