Obituary

Patricia A. Schreck, 88, passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter, Kathy Schober, on October 19th following a six month illness with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Born in Lancaster, PA, she was the daughter of the late Ellen Sullivan Simpson and the wife of the late George R. Schreck, Jr who died in 1993. They had been married 40 years at the time of his passing.

Pat was a 67 year member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, Lancaster. She attended Sacred Heart Academy, and was a 1949 graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School. After retiring from homemaking, she worked at Evergreen Estates Retirement Community as a receptionist for fifteen years.

She enjoyed Duckpin bowling, card club and knitting with her neighborhood friends and cheering on Notre Dame and the Dallas Cowboys during football season. Making the perfect peanut butter eggs at Easter was a speciality of hers. Favorite family vacations were spent going to Hillside Lodge in Potter County, and she also enjoyed traveling with the girls to Hatteras, NC for many years. She will be remembered for her endless bowl of candy, which became a staple in her home.

Her family and friends were consistently touched by the love she displayed

to all. In her final days, her children provided her with the same loving care they learned from the example she set throughout her life.

Surviving are three daughters, Jean L. Lull, Mount Joy, Carolyn, wife of Richard Campbell, Chambersburg, and Kathleen M., wife of Robert P. Schober, Lancaster. One son, David M., husband of Rhonda, Holtwood. Twelve grandchildren, Kelly (Tom), Matthew (Juliane), Kimberly (Nathan), Cory (Ashley), Andrew (Shannon), Lindsay, Patrick (Regina), Aubrey, Kami, David, Gabriella and Dawson. Five Great-Grandchildren, Brody, Bryce, Kaylee, Alec, and Jacob. One step-great grandson, Tommy Jr. Gigi was very excited for her 6th great-grandchild due in March. She was predeceased by a brother, Lee F. Simpson, Jr.
