Faye L. Harting

Faye L. Harting, 84, of Reinholds, passed away Thursday, October 24, 2024, at Hospice & Community Care in Mount Joy. Born in Denver, Faye was a daughter of the late Lloyd & Emmaline (McElhenny) Miller and the loving wife of 66 years to J. Edwin Harting, until his passing in January.

Faye was the youngest of seven children and grew up on a farm in Muddy Creek. She had worked as a sewing machine operator for local textile mills and focused on raising her family. One of her greatest family joys was babysitting the grandchildren and later, great grandchildren. She enjoyed bowling with Eddie, family camping trips to Florida and the Pennsylvania state parks and playing bingo. She was a very competitive Bingo player, and always seemed to have lucky cards. She enjoyed flowers, gardening, and canning her vegetables. Chicken potpie was one of Faye’s specialties along with her famous pies, complete with her own unique pie crust. Faye loved her family and had a special relationship with each of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her gentle presence and hospitality brought the family together and her endless love will always be felt.

Faye is survived by three children, Bonnie L. Showalter (Jim Kidwell) of Denver, Cathy A. Weinhold of Reinholds, and Rick L. Harting (Sharon) of Lititz; two granddaughters, Abbey Rineer (Zachary) and Emily Harting; two great granddaughters, Kenzie and Maren; and a great grandson, Quinton. Faye was predeceased by son-in-law, Kent Weinhold; three sisters and three brothers.

Services are private and Faye’s final resting place is Swamp Cemetery in Reinholds.
