Cordelia Guth Obituary

Cordelia J. Guth, 90, formerly of Bushkill Township, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 19, 2020, at her daughter's residence in Upper Milford Township. She was the wife of the late Gerald A. Guth, with whom she shared 39 loving years of marriage prior to his passing in 2002. Born in Bushkill Township, she was a daughter of the late Silas and Helen (Rissmiller) Kromer. She attended Pen Argyl High School. Farming was an integral part of Cordelia's life as she began working at an early age on the family farm in Bushkill Township, and continued after marrying Gerald. She loved tending her flower and vegetable gardens, canning, and enjoyed taking pictures and scrapbooking. Family was most important to Cordelia, and she cherished time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Survivors: She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her daughters, Lois Confer and husband, Gregory, with whom she resided, and Cynthia Pepas of Stockertown; four grandchildren, Nicholas Confer and wife, Allison, Heather Pepas, Cadie Bandura and husband, Todd, and Andrew Pepas; two great-grandchildren, Zendaya and Cooper; three sisters, Betty Rundle and husband, Frederick, of Noel, Missouri, Jane Litsinger of Mainesburg, PA, and Joan O'Toole and husband, John, of Wind Gap; along with many nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband, Gerald, she was predeceased by two sisters, Ruth Catino and Joyce Geiger, and her loyal pet cat, Mickey.

Services: A Public viewing will be held on Tuesday morning August 25, 2020, from 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. in the GEORGE G. BENSING FUNERAL HOME, LLC, 2165 Community Drive, Route 946, Village of Moorestown – Bath, PA 18014, followed by a Public Graveside Service at 1:00 P.M. in Plainfield Cemetery, Pen Argyl.

Mom Guth, you were such an important part of my childhood and my friendship with Lois. I remember having dinner at your house many times after spending the day playing in the yard with Lois or sleeping over. I can still hear you laughing and see you shaking your head over our antics. You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.

First, my sincerest sympathy to Cordelia's family, may our Lord grant you His peace and comfort to carry you through this sad time and may the footprints she left always bring joy into your hearts.

It always was a pleasure to visit Cousin Dill when I would come home to visit family and friends. We would visit her flower beds, have great chats and oft times treated with delicious homemade goodies. The visit with her that I will always treasure is when two of her sisters and I were chauffeured by one of the husbands to visit her at her daughter's home. Those there will know why it is a memory I will always treasure and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for taking time to do that for me. God be with all who will dearly miss her!
