Obituary

Elizabeth ( Alderfer) Myers , 98 of Souderton Pennsylvania, formerly of Gardenville, Pennsylvania went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at Souderton Mennonite Homes.

She was the loving wife of Clarence R. Myers. They were married 58 years before his death in 2004.

Elizabeth was born in Bedminster Township on September 3, 1923 to the late Henry and Aquilla (Miller) Alderfer. She had 6 sisters and 2 brothers.

She was a member of Deep Run Mennonite Church East, baptized in 1939. She was active in the church sewing circle.

The greatest joy in Elizabeth's life was her family. She loved each one equally and unconditionally. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She was admired by her family for her gift of quilting. She made a quilt for each of her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing and gardening. For many years she and her husband had a very large garden which produced most of the vegetables for her family. She worked hard, freezing and canning the garden produce which was served during the winter months.

Elizabeth kept in touch with old friends and looked for new friends wherever she went. She was a giving person, always ready to help someone in need. She cared for her neighbors when they had physical limitations. She and her husband were volunteers for many years with Meals on Wheels.
