James “Jim” L. Brendel, 75 of Quarryville, went home to be with his Lord and Savior at Lancaster General Hospital on Friday, March 6, 2020, with his wife by his side.

Born on October 28, 1944 in Reading, he was the only child of the late Ray and Elizabeth (Gerhart) Brendel. Jim was the loving husband of Rose (DeLuca) Brendel with whom he shared over 27 years of love and life together.

Jim was an entrepreneur who established his own janitorial service, Brendel Cleaning Service, that he managed with his wife. Over the years, Jim and Rose generously donated their services to many who were in need in their time of crisis.

Jim was an active member of the New Life Assembly of God where he and Rose attended services. He and Rose enjoyed thrift shopping together, collecting vintage items for display in their home. He enjoyed some sports like Nascar, baseball, and football.

Jim is survived by four children: Ginger Urban of Ephrata, PA, Misty Snyder, of Adamstown, PA, Tina Sweigart Egan of Stevens, PA, and Travis Witmer of Hanover, PA; Six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Graveside Services for Jim will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 1pm at the Swamp Cemetery, in Reinholds, with Pastor Moses Baker officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to help defray the cost of services. They may be made to Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home and Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA or by calling the funeral home at (717) 560-5100.

Deepest condolences We Lost A Good Man and Brother in Law, My Friend, My Brother in Christ who Led me to the Lord in 2003. Which means We will be together in Heaven. I will see you Again and we will Know each other. Jim and Rose were Always there when I Needed Someone. They made Sacrifices to help me. I will Forever Be Grateful. So Sad and So Sudden and Completely Unexpected. Gone Too Soon from us, But his work here on Earth was Done. So Giving, Kind and Compassionate. Proudly I considered him my Brother and Friend. He Touched so many Lives. He is So Sadly Missed from our Family. He is in Good Hands and That Comforts our Family. Rose Has God’s Loving arms around her and fully Supported by her family and Good Friends. Strong and Faithful Both of Them. Jim Will be Surely Missed by everyone who knew him. He was So Loved.
