May 26, 2025

Patricia Ann Newcomer, 79, of Ephrata, passed away at home, surrounded by her family, on Monday, May 26, 2025. Born in New Brunswick, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Thomas and Mildred (Johnson) Miles. She was the loving wife of Jon L. Newcomer, with whom she celebrated 52 years of marriage.

Patricia served as a secretary for the Eastern Lancaster County School District. Patricia and Jon enjoyed living in their Ephrata home since 1973 and spending time around the pond Jon built in their backyard. Patricia loved her pets, but the most important thing to her was her family; she loved her daughters, son-in-law, and grandchildren.

In addition to her husband, Jon, she is survived by her daughter, Robin Rapp, wife of Jeffrey, of Reinholds; and two grandsons, Devon and Blake, both at home. Patricia was preceded in death by her daughter, Lisa J. Newcomer, who passed away in 2014.

Memorial Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
