Memories and Condolences
for Lena Eberhart

Not sure what to say?





I'm sorry to hear of my Aunt Lena's passing so late. She was a wonderful, soft-spoken and kind person. I don't recall ever having heard her raise her voice or criticize. I spent many summers in Gettysburg with my brothers at Grandpa and Grandma Miller's farm. Aunt Lena and Aunt Lydia always helped Grandma with the milking.
My mother, Anna was her oldest sister.
God bless you Linda, Phyllis and Dennis and your families.
Your Cousin, Laverne

I am sorry for your loss. Lena was a wonderful person. I had the joy of being her caregiver a little while back. So sweet, kind and caring. Always brightened my day. She will be missed. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Family,

My memories of Aunt Lena over the years were always positive. She possessed a smile, a sweet and gentle spirit, and had a light laugh I can still hear. After her sister Mary Staiger passed away, (my Grandma Staiger) I used to love hearing Aunt Lena talk because her voice sounded so identical to her sister. Even her laugh sounded like her sister's laugh.

Her life was a testament to her faith. She helped other family members and spent time in service to others.

We will surely miss this precious family member, and I send my love and prayers to the family, that you'll be comforted and at peace.

Dear Eberhart family,
My dear Aunt Lena is now at peace and she is in heaven with the rest of her family and your dad. Aunt Lena was one the kindest and sweetest persons I have known. I loved your mom, such a special person, my favorite aunt; always helping others especially Aunt Mae, Grandma Miller and your dad. I'll always have warm memories when I remember your mother and her beautiful smile. Love, Janet
