IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Arvilla K.
Enck
February 26, 2018
Arvilla K. Enck, 91, died Monday, February 26, 2018 at Moravian Manor. She was born in Ephrata to the late Harry and Rachel (Myers) Keller and graduated from Ephrata High School in 1944.
She attended George Washington University and received a degree in pharmacy in 1944. She married Frank Durrell Enck, a WWII vet and chairman of the physics dept. at Franklin and Marshall College.
Blessed with their only son "Eddie" in 1954, they lived for many years in Lancaster. Together they enjoyed playing "pounce" till late at night, skiing, attending F&M functions, playing bridge and pinochle with their "hunting club" crew, attending St. Peters U.C.C. Church, Lancaster, spending summers in the 1000 Islands and living in Zurich, Switzerland on sabbatical and many years later playing monopoly with her grand kids and finally listening to her great granddaughter read to her.
After Durrell's sudden passing in 1973 Arvilla actively pursued a career as a pharmacist at Wiley's Pharmacy in Quarryville and Strasburg, where she enjoyed most the beautiful soles of the youthful co-workers around her, into her late 80's.
She is survived by her son Edwin D. Enck, his wife Dyann, their children Nathan (h/o Debbie) and Allisha Enck (w/o Alison Sorrell), and her great grandchildren, Grace and Liam; and her nieces Gail Huber, Judy Shippen, Edrie Pierce and April Enck, and nephews Alan and David Heppel and Scott and Jeff Enck.
Funeral services for Arvilla will take place 11 AM Monday, March 5, 2018 in Steinman Hall at Moravian Manor, 300 W. Lemon St., Lititz, PA 17543 with Rev. Richard Thierolf officiating. Interment in Bergstrasse Lutheran Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Frank Durrell Enck Memorial Prize in Physics at F&M College, Office of College Advancement, Attn: Advancement Services, PO Box 3003, Lancaster, PA 17604-3003.
