Elaine Feist

Elaine L. Feist, 59, Lewisburg

Elaine Louise Feist, 59, of 1921 Beaver Run Rd., since 1975, went home to be with her Lord at 12:08 p.m., Wednesday, January 4, 2012, at the Manor at Penn Village, Selinsgrove, surrounded by her loving family, after a lifelong courageous battle with the effects of being a Geisinger DES Daughter.

She was born September 17, 1952, in Danville, a daughter of Helen M. (Foltz) Shambach of Millmont, and the late Harold E. Shambach. On June 14, 1975, at the Penns Creek United Methodist Church, she was united in marriage by the Rev. Jack E. Landis, to Paul J. Feist, who survives.

Elaine graduated from Middleburg High School, class of 1970.

She was employed at HiLi Corporation, Penns Creek, until 1977, when she became a full time homemaker and mother after the birth of her daughter. She later worked part-time at BiLo, Lewisburg. In 1998, Elaine began employment at Riverwoods, Lewisburg, where she worked for over 11 years and attained her state Certified Nursing Assistant certification. She loved the residents and her Christian heart was blessed often.

Elaine loved get togethers with family and friends, camping, and spending time at the family cabin west of Weikert. She also enjoyed her legendary coupon clipping, shopping, carnivals, fairs, and yard sales.

Surviving in addition to her mother, and husband of 36 years, are her beloved daughter and son-in-law, Amy and Tim Bingaman of Aaronsburg; grandson, Matthew Bingaman, who named her "Nana" early on and is God's gift that kept Elaine going the last few years; three brothers, Stanley, Randy, and Cory Shambach; and one sister, Ruth Ann Shambach.

She was preceded in death by one brother, Dave Shambach; and her special aunt, Ruth Bowersox.

Elaine has made her journey to God's kingdom, now free of pain and suffering, and her family takes great comfort in knowing that according to God's promise, they will be together again.

Family and friends are welcome from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday, and 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., Tuesday, at the Roupp Funeral Home, Inc., 8594 Old Turnpike Rd., Mifflinburg, where the funeral will be conducted at 11 a.m., with Pastor Darrell Smucker, officiating.

Burial will be in the Hartleton Cemetery.

The Feist family welcomes flowers.
