Emil Wirzberger Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 14, 2020.
WIRZBERGER Emil Wirzberger of Dushore PA, formerly of Philadelphia, was welcomed into heaven July 14th 2020. Born November 25th, 1930 in Neuhutten Germany. Beloved husband of 67 years to Katherine (Wenzel). Loving father of Michael (Mary), Kathe Check, Christin (Richard Tittermary), Lisa Frey (John King). Pop-Pop to Michelle (Scott), Michael (Heather), Marc (Mindy), Stefan, Adam, Heather, Keith (Amanda), Roman (Tracie), and Great Pop-Pop of 13. At the age of 23, a young and talented Konditor (Pastry Chef) left his wife and young son for the promise of a better life in America. Two years later, they were reunited, and together built a happy life and grew a wonderful family. From pastry chef to mason, there wasn't anything he couldn't do. He was happiest riding around on one of his mowers, checking over his Waldenlust. Emil loved nature and being outside, and he was especially happy when his deer came to visit. Most of all, he loved his wife and his family. His greatest wish was that his family love and take care of each other. Relatives and friends are invited to Emil's Life Celebration Visitation on Wednesday July 22nd at the John F. Givnish Funeral Home (10975 Academy Road, Philadelphia 19154) from 11AM-12PM, with a service to follow at 12PM; Interment private.
