July 26, 2022

Gertrude Mae Falck, 87, lifelong resident of Lancaster, passed away Tuesday, July 26, 2022. The daughter of the late Ross B. and Catherine C. (Abel) Henry, she was the loving wife of the late Donald Weaver Falck, who died in 2007.

Gertrude was a 1952 graduate of Solanco High School. She worked for 18 years with RCA and then became a stay-at-home mom, caring for her husband and family.

Of the Methodist Faith, she was a longtime member of Clearfield United Methodist Church, New Providence. Gertrude was so proud of her family; they were the love of her life.
Gardening also held a special place in her heart. She enjoyed spending time manicuring her lawn, caring for flowers, plants, and birdwatching. Gertrude loved nature! Holidays were also a passion for her, no matter the season, her house was decorated to celebrate. She was a very patriotic person and stood proudly in support of all veterans.

Gertrude is survived by her three children: Timothy C. Falck, of Marietta; Jeffrey S. Falck, husband of Jenny, of Riverside, CA; and Donna L. Hoffman, wife of Richard B., of Lancaster; 5 grandchildren: Anita, Amber, Josef, Russell, and Brittany; and 7 great-grandchildren: Gage, Andre, Salena, Gavin, Jordan, Aubrey, and Wren.

So saddened to hear of Aunt Gertie’s passing. I have so many fond memories of her! Her beautiful white hair, her laugh, her food and how she loved her family.  All the pictures on the living room wall!  You all were her pride and joy. Ed sends his condolences, as well. Love to you all,  Dottie

Gertie, Nan-O, Mom-O! All terms of affection for my loving Mother-in-law who will always hold a special place in my heart. As a transplant from CA to PA in the early 1980’s, it was my dear Mother-in-law who really made Lancaster, PA a place to call Home. Love always from her loving daughter-in-law.
