Barry Breneman, 79

October 20, 2024

Barry Breneman of Conestoga, a beloved husband, father, pappy, and friend passed away peacefully on October 20 at the age of 79. Born on July 5, 1945, Barry lived a Christ-centered life filled with love, hard work, and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of life.

Barry spent over 20 years as a custodian for Penn Manor School District. An admirer of Allis Chalmers tractors, Barry spent many hours tending to, and painting, his tractor while winning multiple ribbons at the Lampeter Fair. His love for the outdoors extended to hunting, where he cherished the time spent with his hunting buddies. Barry also found immense pride in working in he and his wife’s vegetable garden as well as riding the mower tending to Millersville Borough Park. Barry worshipped at Community Fellowship Church in Lancaster.

Barry, son of the late Maris & Arvella Breneman, is survived by his wife Paula of 42 years, daughter Kelly Miles (Glenn), son Chris (Briana), brother Jim Breneman (Sylvia), and grandchildren Troy, Emily (Rylee), Dylan, Rylan, and Ava who will carry on his legacy of love and dedication to family. He will be remembered for his kindness, humor, and unwavering support for friends and family.

Friends and family will be received from 12PM to 2PM on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 441 N. George Street, Millersville, PA 17551. A memorial service will follow beginning at 2PM. Interment will take place in Greenfield Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a charity of their choice.

He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Dear Paula and family. My deepest sympathies for each of you. “Brennie” was a big part of so many lives beyond your family and we all enjoyed his humor and the love and devotion with which he revered your family. Because of Jesus we will all be together again in Heaven. Fondly, Della Kreider
