Harriet Louise (Hattie) Benchoff, a resident of Homestead Village, formerly of Fairfield, PA, went to be with her Lord on August 23, 2024, in her 105th year. Born in Big Pool, MD, the daughter of the late Clarence and Anna Frush, she was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Floyd Warren Benchoff and a daughter, Joyce Louise Coder.

After raising her three children, she worked as a housekeeper, nanny, and pet sitter. She enjoyed knitting and crocheting, but her real love was gardening, growing vegetables and flowers, which she gave away to family and friends every summer. When she could no longer enjoy these pastimes, she loved to read and watch the small birds which came to her balcony feeder.

She is survived by her son Dennis and wife Barbara of Lancaster, PA, son Brian of Bastrop, Texas, eight grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 12 at 10:30 am at the Wesley Chapel, 654 Old Waynesboro Road, Fairfield, PA.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Harriet's memory to the Lancaster Farmland Trust, 125 Lancaster Avenue, Strasburg, PA 17579. Lancaster Farmland Trust
