Yvonne Burkholder Bomberger, 87

January 26, 2018

Yvonne Burkholder Bomberger, 87, of Lititz, passed away Friday, January 26, 2018, at Moravian Manor with family by her side. Born in Ephrata, she was the daughter of the late Weidler E. and Helen (Albright) Burkholder. Married on April 30, 1955, Yvonne was the loving wife of Robert L. Bomberger, who died Sept. 7,2013.
Yvonne was a 1948 graduate of Ephrata High School and furthered her education at the University of Penn School of Nursing, earning her degree in nursing in 1951. She pursued her career as a school nurse at Linden Hall.
Yvonne was a member of the Lititz Moravian Congregation, the Lititz Woman’s Club, the Lebanon Country Club, and volunteered for the Lititz Historical Society and was an Election Day volunteer.
Well known for her engaging smile, Yvonne had a delightful sense of humor. She also had a very strong charisma, was quick with her opinion, and spoke her mind; yet, she was also kind and caring.
Yvonne loved her four boys and was a devoted fan of their numerous Warwick High School and collegiate sports. She spent countless hours on the sidelines, watching and cheering. She also enjoyed dancing, bird watching with her husband, Bob, golfing, carrying on joyful conversations over a glass of Chardonnay, traveling with “Their Gang,” and spending summers in Stone Harbor, NJ with family.
She will be dearly missed by her four sons: Robert G., husband of Cheryl, Michael L., husband of Valerie, and Douglas S., husband of Kelly, all of Lititz, and Steven W., husband of Natalie, of Landenberg, PA; 8 grandchildren: Matthew, Stephanie, Nicole, Russell, Drew, Tayler, Dain, and Brittney; and a great-grandchild, Logan.
Yvonne was preceded in death by her only sibling, Martha Burkholder Walsh, who died in 1972.
The family wishes to extend special gratitude to all of the dedicated and loving staff at Moravian Manor and Hospice & Community Care, Lancaster, and especially to all of the nurses and aides at health care south for all of their compassion and extraordinary care for Yvonne.
Memorial Services for Yvonne will be held at 2PM, Saturday, February 3, 2018, in the chapel at Moravian Manor, 300 W. Lemon St., Lititz, PA 17543, with the Rev. Dean R. Jurgen and Rev. Mark V. Breland as officiants. Family and friends will be received at the chapel, from 1PM to 2PM. Interment will be private, at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Yvonne’s name may be sent to The Benevolent Fund of Moravian Manor at the address above or to Hospice & Community Care, PO Box 4125, Lancaster, PA 17604.

My sympathy on the loss of your mother. Many good memories of the “old” neighborhood and the Bomberger boys playing with all the neighborhood kids. I always enjoyed talking with your mom and dad in their later years as I saw them while working at the doctor’s office. May fond memories of your mom help relieve some of these days of grieving.
