Helen J. Kline

September 08, 2021

Helen June (Rudy) Kline, 93, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2021 at Luther Acres Retirement Community in Lititz. Born and raised in Lititz, she was the only child of Clayton B. and Sadie G. (Wolf) Rudy and the loving and devoted wife of E. Bernard “Barney” Kline until his passing in 2012.

Helen loved her hometown and was a staple of Lititz’s Main Street—growing up on the 300 block where her father owned a butcher business. A 1946 graduate of the former Lititz High School, she worked as a bank teller at the former Lititz Springs Bank and the Conestoga Bank in Lititz. In her younger days, Helen and Barney enjoyed going on many bus trips and cruises. She also liked to play cards and board games and was a regular bingo player at Luther Acres in her later years. Helen was a long-time member of Landisville Church of God and enjoyed many Christmas Lovefeast services at her former church home, Lititz Moravian Church. She had been an active volunteer at Matthew 25 Thrift Shop in Lititz and at Luther Acres, where she had many friends.

She will lovingly be remembered by her son David Yerger (Maria) of Lititz; step-daughter Susan Kline of San Jose, CA; grandchildren: Christy Von Stetten of Manheim, Benjamin Yerger (Ka) of Lititz, Theresa Yerger of Brooklyn, NY, Nathan Yerger of Lititz and adopted grandson Joseph White (Morgan) of Galeton; great-grandchildren: Owen, Milo and Henry Von Stetten and Jared, Elijah and Isaac Yerger. She was pre-deceased by her husband Barney Kline and by her son Linn Yerger.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend her Celebration of Life at the Chapel of Luther Acres, 400 Saint Luke Dr. Lititz, PA 17543 on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at 11AM. The family will receive friends at the Chapel from 10AM until the time of service. Masks will be required to attend the service. Interment to follow at Lititz Moravian Cemetery.

Condolences to the Family

So sorry to hear about your Mom. I just saw it in the Lititz Record. My Mother and her were good friends for many years. We visited at your grandparents home quite a bit too. I have lots of fond memories of her from my childhood– going to the shore, picnics, movies–my Mom and Frank and her and Barney took several trips together in later years.
I always liked your Mom. She was nice and kind to me. I lost track of her after my Mom passed.
please accept my sympathy — prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Helen.  Unfortunately we had lost touch with her after Uncle Vince & Uncle Warren passed away.  Our condolences to the family.

We are sorry to hear of Helen’s passing.  Although it’s been several years since we’ve seen her, we have fond memories of her gentleness, kindness, and all around goodness.  When Barney and his brothers Warren and Vince were still in good health, we looked forward to seeing the Klines for the Fourth of July picnics (and the long ago Christmas parties).  Helen is Terry’s aunt, a sister-in-law of his mother Doris Kline Buckwalter.  Helen will be greatly missed, and our sincere sympathies go out to her family and friends.
