Pearl touched so many lives with her gentle manner and amazing sense of humor. She enjoyed country music, playing cards, cross-word puzzles, and most of all spending time with family and friends.

They were married on September 20, 1952, in Bel Air, Harford County, MD and shared 25 years of marriage until his death on July 1st, 1978.

A good-hearted, caring, and understanding mother of four, Pearl is survived by two sons: Dennis L. of Chambersburg, PA, and Gary C. Wanner of Lancaster. Also surviving are 14 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 11 great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a daughter Terry A. Kritser, and a son Robert E. Sheaffer. The last of her immediate family she was preceded in death by four siblings; Miller L. Sheaffer, Helen L. Ruth, Dorothy P. Chant, and Clayton W. Sheaffer.

And i was never so glad to see you awake and laughing. You even remembered me. I will miss you very much and i will never forget you. I know you and pap are catching up on the past 37 years and that gives me comfort. Untill we meet again i love you. Denny. Jaiden. And Jackie Wanner
