Eva F. Stauffer
d. December 17, 2015
Eva Frey Stauffer, 98, formerly of Lititz, passed away peacefully at Brethren Village on December 17, 2015. Born in Rapho Township, she was the daughter of the late Jacob Y. and Margie Frey Stauffer and loving wife of the late Harry E. Stauffer for 64 years.
Eva and Harry lived on a dairy farm in their early years of marriage. They owned and operated Stauffer’s Market in Brownstown and in later years had an orchard with a roadside stand on Elbow Road, Lexington (Lititz).
A graduate of Mount Joy High School, she was a homemaker and enjoyed cooking and baking. She continued to bake her own bread until she was 95.
She was an active member of Evangel Assembly of God in Ephrata, where for many years she served as the Sunday school secretary and Sunday school teacher for the youth and adult classes. Eva loved the Lord deeply and was an avid “prayer warrior”. She enjoyed reading her Bible daily and helping others.
She will be lovingly missed by her son, Jesse W. , husband of Julie(Ober), Lititz; daughters, Iva J. Reitz, League City, TX; Velva J., wife of Reverend Paul G. Chamberlain, East Aurora, NY; eight grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren and a sister, Orlena, wife of John Brubaker, Lititz. She is preceded in death by brothers, Orville, Ellwood and Jacob, and sisters Mabel, Almeta, Maria and Fern.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Eva may be made to the Brethren Village Good Samaritan Fund, 3001 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, PA 17606.
