Dorothy Fegley Obituary

Dorothy M. Fegley
Dorothy M. Buckwalter Fegley, born Sept. 28, 1933, died Dec. 27, 2021, passed away peacefully in the company of her loved ones at St. Luke's Hosp-ital, Allen-town.
She grace-fully carried herself and was strong willed and focused on healing up until the end. She wanted nothing more than to return home to enjoy the company of her family, friends and loved ones. She was looking forward to her regularly attended bowling league and seniors' group.
She devoted her life to her family and loved ones, always upholding a caring and resilient character. Her personality and soul will be deeply missed by many.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William J. Fegley; four sons, Jeffrey, James, Oliver (Ray) and Clayton Fegley; four brothers, Lloyd, David, Raymond and Carl Buckwalter; and two sisters, Grace Baxter and Irma Sager.
Dorothy was born in Narvon to the late Ralph and Catherine (Shelly) Buckwalter.
She is survived by sisters, Ruthann Bensing of Terri Hill and Pearl Schulze of Narvon; a brother, Paul Buckwalter of New Holland; daughters, Sheila Leitzel in Tennessee and Karen Williamson of Barnesville; seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
She was a proud member of Faith United Church of Christ, Delano, the Rush/Ryan Senior Citizens, as well as a member of the Ladies Auxiliary Quakake Fire Co.
