Eleonore “Lore” Rieger, 89, passed away after a long illness on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. She was born in Dresden, Germany on January 27, 1935, the daughter of Alfred and Katherina (Gensen) Weimann. Lore married Reinhold F. Rieger in Hamburg, Germany. The two moved to the United States with their family in 1964 and moved to Green Bay in 1980. Lore belonged to the German American Society, being especially active in her younger years. She enjoyed embroidering, tending to her flower garden, and times spent with the “Reiser Girls” who she met when she worked at Reiser’s Diamond Vault. More than anything, Lore loved spending time with her family.
