Peg Benson Shilling of Westminster, 89


Peg Benson Shilling of Westminster, 89

A memorial service for Peg Benson Shilling of Westminster, 89; will be held at St Benjamin's Lutheran Church, 700 Krider's Cemetery Rd, Westminster, MD on December 12th, 2015 at 11 AM. http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/12/peg-benson-shilling-of-westminster-89.html

R. Margaret Benson of Westminster, peacefully departed this life at age 89 on November 14th, 2015 in Tacoma, WA.

Loved and respected by all who knew her, Peg was a shining example of love, grace, and poise. Her passion in life was best expressed through her faith, love and unending devotion to her three husbands, their children, grand-children, and great grand-children. Be it her biological-family or family-by-marriage, she treated one and all, as her own.

Peg was born Ruth Margaret Benson in Westminster, MD on March 15th, 1926, to her parents Raymond and Grace Hosfeld Benson.

Peg married her first-love, Thomas E. Shilling of Westminster, MD on December 23rd, 1946. Peg was predeceased by her 1st husband and is survived by their four sons: Thomas Shilling of Marblehead, MA; Mark Shilling of Saylorsburg, PA; Kinsey Shilling of Mount Vernon, WA; and Brian Shilling of Tacoma, WA.

Peg's 2nd marriage to Paul T. Smock of Wayne, NJ occurred on July 28, 1973. She was predeceased by her 2nd husband and her step-daughter, Karen Smock of Austin, TX. She is survived through her 2nd marriage by four step-children: Kristen Ogwaro of Moulton AL; Paul and Katherine Smock of Elk Grove, CA; and Parker Smock of Binghamton NY.

Peg was also predeceased by her 3rd husband, Ronald S. Jamieson of Greensboro, NC. She is survived through her 3rd marriage by her four step-children: Ronald Jamieson of Waynesville, NC; Jim Jamieson of Orange, CA; Karen Ipek of Norcross GA; and Meredith Renz of Greensboro, NC.

To name all of Peg's son and daughter-in-laws, grand-children and great grand-children would fill a small book. And those touched by her love-filled life are truly never-ending.

Peg attended Westminster Elementary and High Schools, graduating in 1943. She was a 1947 graduate of Hood College, Frederick, MD, majoring in Biology.

Peg trained in nursing at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD. She was an Administrative Assistant to the Departments of OBGYN and Pediatrics at the University of Maryland Hospital, Baltimore, MD.

Since retiring, she had more time for gardening, family, and friends. Her love of flowers, especially roses, kept her occupied three seasons of the year. Being a watcher of feathered friends (i.e. song birds) brought her much joy year round.

A memorial service will be held at St Benjamin's Lutheran Church, 700 Krider's Cemetery Rd, Westminster, MD on December 12th, 2015 at 11 AM.


In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of one's choosing. We all will miss her tremendously, and know she is in a better place.

Mabel Caroline Lippy, 90, of Manchester passed away Tuesday, October 6, 2015

 Mabel Caroline Lippy
Born: November 18, 1924
Died: October 06, 2015

Too often we forget that the public figure who serves our community could not accomplish the great things they achieve without the support of a family who takes care of all the necessary behind the scene responsibilities while the public figure is out front in the public spotlight and attending countless never-ending meetings.

Meanwhile, somebody has to keep the lights on… That somebody, a family – a spouse - keeps the schedules, picks-up the groceries and gets the car to the auto shop; and takes cares of all the mundane tasks necessary for life.

Sadly too many in our community tend to forget the folks that made the community what it is today, once they get old.

Mrs. Lippy was every bit as responsible for Commissioner Lippy’s accomplishments as he was; but Commissioner Lippy got the spotlight. We must not forget Mrs. Lippy because she made it happen.

Uncle Lewis S. Fluck, a long-time resident of Souderton, died October 2, 2015


Uncle Lewis S. Fluck, a long-time resident of Souderton, died October 2, 2015


Video: Helen and Lewis Fluck’s 60th wedding anniversary celebration at the Koffels’ house in Pennsburg, PA on September 12, 2010.

Lewis S. Fluck, a long-time resident of Souderton, died October 2, 2015 at the Lutheran Community at Telford. He and his wife, Helen (Fretz) Fluck, were married for 64 years at the time of her passing.

Born July 10, 1922 in Reading, he was the son of the late Rev. Dr. William A. and Carrie (Sigafoos) Fluck and a graduate of Reading High School. He then proudly served in the U. S. Air Force during World War II. Mr. Fluck returned home and graduated from Muhlenberg College in 1948. After college, he was employed at George M. Yocum, Inc. of Lansdale and then as office manager for Keyser Miller Sales in Souderton and Collegeville until his retirement in 1990.

Mr. Fluck was an active member of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hatfield where he served on church council, and was a lector and choir member for over 60 years. He was also active with Laymen Playmen, acting in many of their productions.

Before moving to Souderton in 1959, he served as Secretary of Hatfield Borough. In Souderton, he served as a member of the Souderton Planning Commission and the Souderton Area School Board.

An extensive traveler, he and his wife enjoyed visiting many countries, especially Switzerland. They soon became in love with Switzerland and visited about ten times, often with children and grandchildren, always staying in a small village, Hasliberg Reuti, up in the Alps. However, they never missed their vacation days in Ocean City, NJ with the family.

In addition to travel, he enjoyed season tickets to the Philadelphia Orchestra concerts and plays at the Walnut Street Theater. For many years, he was a volunteer for the Meals on Wheels program, and Hands Across the District as a library aide at Oak Ridge Elementary School.

Surviving are two daughters, Evelyn Koffel and her husband, Jay, of Pennsburg, and Anne Gabel and her husband, Richard, of Red Hill; and her grandchildren, Jessica Koffel, John Koffel and his wife, Allison, and William Gabel. They all meant so much to him, and they loved him in return and did so much for him. He is also survived by his sisters, Elizabeth Judd of Telford, and Evelyn Babylon of Westminster, MD. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, William F.S. Fluck. He was loved and will be missed.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his memorial service at 11AM on Wed., Oct. 7, at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 25 W. Broad St., Hatfield, PA 19440, with burial following at Little Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery in Telford. Family will receive friends at the church from 10-10:45AM. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church at the address above.
