She will be greatly missed by her daughters: Lynn Newcomer (Robert), of York, and Ann Valuch of Lancaster; her sisters: Irene Shelton (William) and Helen Shelton Keller (Robert), both of Lancaster; grandchildren: Matthew, Susan, Elizabeth, Ryan and Rebecca; great-grandchildren: Adriana, Robbie, Rosti, Elena, Avery, Alana, Anthony and Parker, as well as many nieces and nephews with whom she shared a special relationship. She was preceded in death by a grandson, Brian.
