Obituary for Earl F. Brownsberger
Earl F. Brownsberger, 77, of Ephrata, went to be with his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, at his residence.
He was born in Penn Township to the late Samuel K. and Grace (Fasnacht) Brownsberger and was the husband of Harriet (Hershey) Brownsberger.
Harriet and Earl were married at the small chapel in Mt Gretna in May 1965 and had just celebrated their 51st anniversary.
Earl was a member of the Evangelical Free Church of Hershey, where he served many years as a greeter and was a member of the Barnabas Sunday School Class. He worked for 33 years at High Steel Structures as a fitter. Earl served on the committee for Cub Scout Pack 70, enjoyed doing projects with his son in NH, vacations at Mt. Gretna and attending classic car events. During his military service, his US Army military police unit was stationed in Orléans, France where they served as both local security as well as being representatives for local ceremonies. Earl was a caring, compassionate and loving husband and father.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, David E., husband of Louise (Brochu) Brownsberger of Manchester, NH.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, James Andrew Brownsberger and a brother, Glenn A Brownsberger.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, September 22, at 11 am, at the Evangelical Free Church of Hershey, 330 Hilltop Rd., Hummelstown, with Pastor Dave V. Martin officiating. The family will receive friends following the service. Interment with military honors accorded by the Red Rose Veterans Honor Guard will be private at the convenience of the family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Earl's memory may be made to the Evangelical Free Church of Hershey, 330 Hilltop Rd., Hummelstown, PA 17036 to benefit Barnabas Class Missionaries.
