Almeda V. Korns, 87, passed away peacefully at her Gordonville, PA home on Monday, July 18, 2016. She was born in Cumberland, MD to the late Melvin Ellsworth and Lillian Irene (Holler) Shroyer. Almeda's husband John J. Korns died in 1993.

She graduated from Hyndman High School, Hyndman, PA and worked for Vallorbs Jewel Company in Bird-In-Hand from 1967 to 1974 and then for Star Dental in Greenfield Industrial Park, retiring in 1991. Almeda was an active member of St. John's United Methodist Church, where she served with the United Methodist Women, Sewing Circle and Luncheon Committee. She also belonged to Strasburg Senior Citizens.

Almeda was adventurous and independent. She loved camping, fishing and boating, with her husband Junior, on the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and Indian River. They visited every state in the Continental United States. She loved needlework, sewing, playing Dominoes and board games, and in her later years playing Bingo at Paradise Fire Company. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family.

Lefever of Strasburg, two grandchildren, Kelcy (Lefever) Waller, wife of Michael Waller of Lancaster and Brad Lefever and his fiancé Stephanie Dumler of Lititz; and three great-grandsons, Harrison, Emmett and Brooks Waller.
