Margaret A. “Peg” Rohrer, 82, of East Petersburg, passed away on Friday, September 15, 2023 at her residence.

Born in Little Britian Twp., she was the daughter of the late Paul R. and Kathleen (Louthian) Groff. She was married to the late James V. Rohrer, Sr. for 54 years.

She volunteered at the Hempfield Food Pantry and was active with the East Petersburg Women’s Club. Some of her hobbies included quilting, needle point, and crocheting. She was an avid cookie jar collector. One of her passions in life was being able to help others.

She is survived by her son, James V. (Christina) Rohrer, Jr.; daughter, Christine (William Shemeluk) Burfete; her sister, Charlotte Stoner; grandchildren, Bryce Burfete and Madelyn Rohrer; and nephews, Samuel and Daniel Stoner.
