Ada Mae Barley

"Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your master".

Matthew 25: 23

Ada Mae Barley (Geemaw), of Millersville, entered into the joy of her master, on Thursday, January 23, 2020 at Homestead Village at the age of 101. She was the daughter of the late Frank and Minnie Keperling Stekervetz. Born and raised in rural Conestoga, she grew up with her 4 brothers: Walter, Mervin, Roy, and George, and her sister Myrtle Breneman; all of whom have preceded her in death.

Ada was the wife of Harold Barley, Sr., who was received by Jesus in 2003. Two sons: Harold, Jr. (2002), and infant son Glenn (1942), a grandson, Donald Siglin, Jr. (2016) and a great-great-granddaughter, Grace Harmon (2011), have gone on before them. Ada is survived by three daughters and sons-in-law: Faye and Donald Siglin; Betty Jane (BJ) and Michael Hykes; and Nancy and Kenneth Witmer. One daughter-in-law: Nancy Brenneman Barley. Her family has grown to 104 members including: 12 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; and 30 great-great-grandchildren. In addition, many extended family members and friends will dearly miss their beloved Geemaw Barley.

Ada and Harold were married on March 26, 1938 at the home of the Reverend Amos H. Groff in Narvon. They celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on March 26, 2002. They bought their dairy farm in Manor Township in 1947 where they raised their family and worked diligently as a team. Ada had a simple faith. God said it, she believed it, and that settled it; and she shared her faith whenever the opportunity presented itself. She attended Manor Church and loved singing the old hymns, and sang them joyfully and accurately even after the mist of dementia clouded her mind. Using and sharing her gift of cooking, gardening, and sewing brought her great pleasure and satisfaction. A family cookbook honoring Geemaw and her recipes, was published in 1994. Above all, she cherished every moment spent with her family, and took great delight in hosting them for homemade meals at the farmhouse.

Family and friends are invited to honor Ada's life and celebrate her home going at Manor Church, 530 Central Manor Road, Lancaster, PA 17603 on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at 10:30 A.M. with Pastor Ross Dunk, officiating. A viewing will be held at the church on Friday, from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. and also on Saturday from 9:30 A.M. until the time of the service. Interment in Masonville Cemetery.

Edgar Shultz Funk

Edgar Shultz Funk, 97, entered his eternal heavenly rest on Friday, January 3, 2020. "Steady Eddie," "Eddie," "Ed, "Pappy," and "Uncle Eddie" was a lifelong resident of Manor Township. He died of natural causes at St. Anne's Retirement Community, where he was a happy resident for the past 5 years.

Fourteen great-grandchildren: Alex, Madison, Nate, Carter, Chase, Charlotte, Camryn, Autum, Lydia, Connor, Tyler, Leah, Henry, and Jane. Four great-great-grandchildren: Austin, Weston, Annalynn, and Waylon. Eddie was preceded in death by 5 brothers and 1 sister: B. Milton, Amos, James, Lester, Paul and Ruth. It was with great sadness that Ed saw his wife: F. Jean; son: Deane R. Funk; grandson: Kevin Smith; and great-grandson; Wyatt Tietz, preceded him in this life. He is reunited with them now. He was dearly loved by his family and will be missed by the many people he encountered throughout Central Pennsylvania.

Eddie was constantly "on the go" throughout Lancaster County, and beyond, into age 97. He grew up farming and going to Central Market, Columbia Market and Lebanon Market, where he held stands and delivered and sold fresh produce. As vice-president and part-owner of Funk Bros., Inc., he specialized in heavy equipment and explosives. He always kept and tended his own garden, fruit trees, and raspberry bushes.

Eddie was a Board Member of the Central Manor Camp-meeting, Inc. of Washington Boro, where he served as Camp Manager for many years. He was a multi-year champion in the quoits tournament, in which he played through his 97th year. He and his wife were members of Central Manor Church of God, where they raised their 3 children in their Christian faith and were members of the Best of Life Sunday School class, and, in retirement, served as church custodians/groundskeepers. Eddie also served as Adult Sunday School Chorister, on the Buildings and Grounds Committee at his church, on the Board of Water Street Rescue Mission, on the Soil Conservation Board, and with the Land Improvement Contractors of America.

Eddie never retired. Into his 90's he went to produce auctions including Weaverland, Sunnyburn, and Leola on a regular basis. In his Ford F150, he would haul loads of fruits and vegetables that he supplied to various restaurants, farm stands, and businesses around the county, including the Corn Wagon, Cherry Hill Orchards, and John Wright Restaurant.

Eddie knew half of Lancaster County. He made friends in the Amish community, in his business dealings, and everywhere he traveled. He made it his life's work to serve others in his community. He loved to travel, and visited Florida, Alaska, California, Texas, North and South Carolina, and Maine, as well as Canada, Panama, Egypt, Israel, and parts of the Mediterranean.

Eddie was a Funk. He loved his brothers and sister and his large extended family members very much. He was a constant tease, card-shark, and deal-maker. He was always out to get the best bargain and to help anyone who had a need. He was an avid collector of antiques.

Eddie spent the last 10+ years of his life in and around St. Anne's, first during his wife's stay there, and then as a resident. He was known and loved by that community of residents and employees, and was involved in all of their activities and in supplying flowers, pumpkins, and produce, as their de facto "mayor."

He is finally at rest from his work, and has received his heavenly reward.

Along with Lorna, Dick delivered Millersville Meals-on-Wheels for more than twenty-five years.
