In addition to her parents and both husbands, she was predeceased by one son, Ronald DeWald; five brothers, Delmar, Ralph, Charles, Jesse and Howard DeWald; and four sisters, Irene Darin, Mary Andes, Stella Reed and Ruth Snyder.

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, August 23 in the Muncy Cemetery with Rev. Jane O’Borski, pastor of Bethany United Methodist Church, Hughesville, officiating.
