Jonathan Tompkins, and a son Donald Warfel, companion of Darlene Garreth, of Lancaster, sister Evelyn DeVerter and two brothers, Benjamin and Richard (Marie) DeVerter, of Lancaster; 5 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 1 great, great grandchild; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by a son, Larry Warfel, sister, Anna Hickey, and brother, Charles DeVerter.

Dear Joan and Don,
   Im glad I had the pleasure meeting supernan at Conestoga View.  She would always make my day there and always put a smile on my face.   The day she told me I was part of the family now, so now I can call her my supernan.  She will be sadly missed by not just me but alot of us CNA’s. 
   Love ya supernan,  Marci Barrage

Dear Don and Joan,
We wish we could have been there to celebrate the long and wonderful life of your Spirit-filled mother. I know you will all miss her tremedously. She was so faithful to her family in modelling Christ. Isn’t it breath-taking to picture her at the nail-pierced feet of the One who carried and comforted her throughout her life?
Love and peace,
The Dickman’s. Jim, Carla, Sarah and Christy.
