Mae E. (Oehme) Meringer, 101

September 13, 1918 - June 08, 2020

Mae E. Meringer, 101, of Lititz, formerly of Millersville, passed away on June 8, 2020. She was the daughter of the late William W. and Elizabeth (Martin) Oehme. Mae was the wife of the late John C. Meringer who died in 1993.

Mae was a member of Covenant United Methodist Church, Lancaster where she was a member of the Chancel Choir and Ladies Sunshine Bible Class. In her younger years, she worked for the American Cancer Society, Millersville Borough and was a 19 year volunteer at Lancaster Regional Medical Center.

Mae was the matriarch of a large family and enjoyed spending time with them. She liked to crochet, do search-a-word puzzles, play scrabble and talk with her friends in the community room in Fairview Meadows at Brethren Village. She also enjoyed playing the organ and piano. She was a very kind and loving person, and everyone she met always said she had a beautiful smile on her face all the time and she had such a sweet personality.

Mae will be greatly missed by her family. She is survived by three children; Jane Carr (William), Nancy Froeschle (Ray) and Robert Meringer (Sharon), all of Lancaster; 7 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren; 9 great-great grandchildren, 2 nephews and 1 niece. She was preceded in death by her sister Helen Oehme and brothers William Oehme and J. Herbert Oehme.

Graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, June 11, 2020, at Millersville Mennonite Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in her memory may be made to Covenant United Methodist Church, 110 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster, PA 17603, (Please note “Dolly Kepner organ fund” in the memo), or to the charity of your choice.

I met Mae at the Brethren Village where my mother is a resident and she was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known.  I heard her playing the organ and enjoyed listening to her playing.  She always had a smile on her face and never complained about anything.  I didn’t get to see her after she entered the assisted living.
