Mary Jane Yerger

It pains me to admit at this time, but apparently I passed away on October 7, 2018. Everybody told me it would happen one day, but I simply didn’t want to hear it (as usual), much less experience it. I was born on December 31, 1938, to the late Herman E. and Lillian E. (Sattazahn) Hauck. I graduated from Cornwall High School with many friends and a few boyfriends. I loved to joke, see people laugh and put out a few hugs and kisses now and then. I retired from Pfizer Pharmaceutical, Lititz, PA, where I worked on the line for 30 years and had a whole lot of fun with my co-workers. I was also an active member of the trauma team. Traveling to my property in Virginia was a highlight for me. Whether alone or with friends and family, I always looked forward to getting there and relaxing. I enjoyed motorcycle riding, horseback riding, fishing, going for walks, crafting and baking my giant sugar cakes. Being active in my church was very important to me, but I also enjoyed riding along with my son-in-law in his work truck to job sites and even the dump. He always kept me busy, and I loved him for that. I have two children: a son, Douglas M. married to Deborah J. Sites, and a daughter, Brenda J. married to Michael R. Adams. I have eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren (wow). I was preceded in death by my sister Arlene R. Fuhrman, daughter Crystal K. Sites and granddaughter Rinada L. Mohler. This I will leave with you. Please don’t cry because I am gone; instead be happy I was born and had the pleasure of meeting you. (Or maybe cry a little bit. After all, I have passed away.) Just know this, I am happy and probably dancing with family members as you read this. Love you all very much, Mary J. Yerger (otherwise known as Nan). Funeral services for Mary Jane will be held on Thursday, October 11, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. at the Kreamer & Lum Funeral Home & Crematory, Rt. 72 & Camp Meeting Rd., Jonestown. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow at the Quentin (Bismark) Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 2595 Interstate Dr., Suite 100, Harrisburg, PA 17110, or to Hospice for All Seasons, 280 S. Hill Drive, Grantville, PA 17028.
