Myrtle M. Oberly, 82, of Mohnton, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, August 14, 2018.

She was the wife of the late Edward Maenza Sr., passed away August 9, 1984, and the late Richard "Dick" Oberly, passed away December 31, 2015.

costumes for them. She was known to have quite a sweet tooth, always leaving room for ice cream. She was also known for her cooking and baking skills.

We send our thoughts and prayers out to your entire family during this difficult time to sat good-by for awhile to a very special Myrtle. She was a special pal to our daughter Kristen when she was in grade school. She even made a flower girl dress that was worthy of a princess. I just had a knee replacement last Mon. So I can't be there at the service. I will uphold you in prayer. Mary Lynne and Dave Rathman
