October 16, 2024

Patricia F. Showers, 88, of Lititz, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at UPMC Lititz.

Born in Ephrata, she was the daughter of the late Norman W. and Lilian (Hehnly) Shiffler. She was the wife of Dale L. Showers.

Patricia worked for Wilburt Chocolate for 29 years. She and her husband, Dale were members of Grace Church in Lititz for over 40 years. Patricia dedicated many years to teaching Sunday School to children, sharing her love for God and guiding young hearts. Alongside her husband, she welcomed members and visitors as a church greeter. She was a devoted member of the prime-time adult ministry for many years. Known as a prayer warrior, she prayed fervently and often sent prayer cards for various occasion, touching many lives with her kindness. Patricia was frequently found reading her Bible. She also found joy in cooking, playing the piano, and doing needlepoint. An avid sports fan, she cheered passionately for her favorite teams, the Phillies, and the Steelers.

Patricia is survived by her husband, Dale L. Showers; her sons, Terry (Judy) Steffy and Norman C. (Beth Ann) Steffy; her sisters, Sandra A. Reynolds, Beverly J. Sweigart, and Nancy E. Weachter; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Charles E. Shiffler, and sister, Arlene M. Heck.

A memorial service for Patricia will be held at Grace Church in Lititz for family only. Interment will be held privately at the convenience of that family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Patricia’s name to Grace Church, 501 W Lincoln Ave., Lititz, PA 17543.

Uncle Dale, you are in our prayers and thoughts. Remember the memories that you and Aunt Pat made together and the love you shared with one another. I wished that Clay and I could be there with you, and if you feel a tug on your hand, that’s me holding your hand. Clay and I love you very much and Aunt Pat will be missed. Know in your heart that I am with you. I love you Uncle Dale.
Donna and Clay Mitchell

Dale, tenderly may God heal your sorrow, gently may friends ease your pain, softly may peace replace heartache and may the sweetest memories remain. You are in our daily thoughts and prayers.
Heidi and Don Klopp, Grace Church
