Marian A. Bilger, 87, Millmont
Marian A. Bilger, 87, formerly of 2451 State Route 235, entered into rest unexpectedly at 5:30 a.m., Sunday, April 24, 2011, at Elmcroft of Lewisburg, where she had been a resident since November 2006.
She was born October 29, 1923, in Middleburg, a daughter of the late Arthur S. and Eva (Markel) Bilger.
Marian was a 1941 graduate of Mifflinburg High School.
She was employed at Huntington Throwing Mills, Mifflinburg, for many years. Marian also worked in the dietary department of the Laurelton Center, for several years before retiring.
Marian enjoyed spending holidays at the cottage in Weikert with her family. She loved to reminisce about her experiences earlier in life, such as how she would drive the farm trucks, run errands with her father, and spoil the family children. Marian was known by her family for her awesome homemade sticky buns and breads, which will be sadly missed. When friends visited her at home or at Elmcroft, she would talk about those cherished times for days.
Surviving are one sister, Frances (Bilger) Wertz, of Glen Iron; 10 nieces and nephews, Nancy Wagner of Millmont, Donald Shirk of Mifflinburg, Carol Wilson of Millmont, Joanie Shemory of Mifflinburg, Rhonda Maurer of Mifflinburg, Joyce Kerstetter of Millmont, Loyce Osgood of Millmont, Ballard Wertz of Millmont, Lande Bilger of Millmont, and Rande Bilger of Selinsgrove; and several great nieces and great nephews, whom she loved very much.
She was preceded in death by two sisters, Dorothy Shively and Jenetta Shirk; and one brother Ben Bilger.
Family and friends are welcome from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., Wednesday, at the Roupp Funeral Home, Inc., 8594 Old Turnpike Rd., Mifflinburg, where the funeral will be conducted at 11 a.m., with Rev. Henry F. Dorman, officiating.
Burial will be in the Lincoln Chapel Cemetery, Laurelton.
Memorial Contributions may be made to the Activity Fund of Elmcroft of Lewisburg, C/O Jeanne Kuhns, 2421 Old Turnpike Rd., Lewisburg, PA 17837.
