She was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church in Honesdale, serving on many committees. Her belief in God was unshakable. She will be greatly missed by all of her nieces and nephews and particularly by Charlie and Patty Weniger of Honesdale, who were always available to help her, spend time with her, love her and finally, be with her at her death. Funeral services will be held Thursday, Jan. 5, at the First Presbyterian Church of Honesdale at 11 a.m. Interment will follow in St. Mary Cemetery, Honesdale. The family will receive friends in the church, from 10 until service time. Scranton Times, Jan. 4, 2017
