On Sunday June 16th, 2024, Joan L. Berdiner, 96, passed away surrounded by her loving family. Joan was born to George and Sara (Davidson) Campbell in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill County PA. She was married for 70 wonderful years to Paul Berdiner who passed away in 2015.

During the 1950s and 60's Joan worked as a geriatric nurse and came to recognize the need for a different type of care that was not available to seniors at that time. So, in 1970 she and Paul opened Brereton Manor Personal Care Home in Manor Twp. They continued to operate the home for the next forty years where they offered the elderly a safe loving community while providing daily assistance and care. It was always important to Joan that Brereton Manor felt warm and welcoming to all that entered the home.

Joan and Paul were active members of Grace United Methodist Church since 1968. Joan served on many committees, especially the Mission Thrift Shop where she could spend time with her church friends and meet new friends while serving the community.

Perhaps the greatest legacy that Joan leaves is that of being a caring loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend to many. She is survived by her children Joan A Segro, Lititz, Raymond Berdiner, Flagler Beach, FL, George Berdiner (Cathy), Millersville and Boni Zeigler, Manor Twp. Grandchildren, Steve Segro, Matt Segro, Lisa (Jeff) Peters, Paul Berdiner, Tim Berdiner, Sara and Shanna Berdiner and Scott and Jon Zeigler. Great Grandchildren, Colin, Cole and Quinn Peters, Gabe, Evie, Callie Segro, Chase, and Laine Berdiner.

We also would like to thank the staff and residents of Oakleaf Manor South for their kindness and care during mom's time with them. Our Mother was a loving, kind welcoming person and will be in our hearts forever.
