MCLAUGHLIN
ELGIE P.

Passed away peacefully, at the age of 91, on Monday May 27, 2019. She was born in Philadelphia to Helen (Brosche) and Charles Piening. Elgie is survived by her loving children, Elgie R. McLaughlin (Joel Hanna), Guy (Skip) W. McLaughlin, III (Eileen) and Wendy Gieseler (Dave); grandchildren, Guy W. McLaughlin, IV, (Christina), Cassie McLaughlin, William McLaughlin, Christopher McLaughlin, Matthew McLaughlin, Dennis (Denney) Gieseler and Dylan Gieseler; great-grandchildren, Rebekah and Guy W. McLaughlin, V; and nieces Karen Bontempo (Butch) and Merle Wolfgang (Michael). She was preceded in death by her husband, Guy W. McLaughlin, Jr., M.D. in 1992, her brother Robert Piening, his wife Marilyn and their daughter, her niece, Leslie Piening. Elgie was a spitfire who loved life and lived it to its fullest. She was devoted to her husband, Guy, and her children and boy could she cook and throw a party. Her genuine smile and infectious laugh always drew everyone to her. She worked hard and was not afraid to follow her dreams. Graduating from Temple School of Pharmacy, where she met Guy on her first day, she began her career in her father-in-law's pharmacy and then at North Eastern Hospital, working her way up to Director. Her sense of balance between work and family was incredible so she eventually put her career on hold while she spent years making an amazing home for Guy and their children. As they grew into young adults, she put her pharmacist jacket back on working at Friends Hospital and then ending her career as Chief of the Pharmacy at Rydal Park. She loved family time in Ocean City, making and drinking milkshakes with her grandchildren, dancing, singing and her Book Club though we're not sure she ever read any of those books! Mommy will be missed by all who knew her! Elgie's family will receive relatives and friends on Sat. June 8, 2019 from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. at JAMES J. MCGHEE FUNERAL HOME, 690 Belmont Ave., Southampton, PA. Services will begin at 10:30. Interment will follow at Whitemarsh Cemetery in Ambler. In lieu of flowers, Elgie's family requests donations be made in her name to Dementia Society of America, PO Box 600, Doylestown, PA 18901 or, if possible, simply take your mom out to lunch.

Elgie, the ER wasn't an ideal place to have met your mom but I'm glad i did. I love reading about who she was and what she meant to everyone. The love she gave you was obvious to me in how you lovingly cared for her at the end of her life. I'm glad she is finally at peace.

Wendy, Elgie and Skip, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Aunt Elgie was a truly remarkable woman who had many successes in life. Most importantly, she recognized the value of family and raised three extraordinary children whom our family has had the pleasure of knowing and spending time. I admire more and more the fact that Aunt Elgie always made an effort to reach out despite having a very full and busy life. I have come to realize this in and of itself was a huge accomplishment. I will always hold Aunt Elgie close to my heart, and will fondly remember her beautiful smile, her intelligence and wit, her heart of gold, and all of the love and caring she freely gave to those around her. She certainly was one of a kind and we are truly blessed to have had the privilege of being a part of her life. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you during this very difficult time.
