  Esch, Violet Mae   
   
  Violet Mae Esch, 85, of Blue Ball passed away peacefully in her sleep on 
  December 8, 2008, at the Ephrata Community Hospital, surrounded by her family. 
  Her husband, Mahlon G. Esch, died January 14, 1976. Born in Drumore, she was a 
  daughter of the late Edward and Myrtle Swinehart Miles. She attended Harvest 
  Fellowship for the past 46 years. She enjoyed putting puzzles together, 
  collecting state quarters, going to the mountains, and watching traffic from 
  her front porch at her home near the Blue Ball Square. Her faith and her 
  journey has led her to the final frontier, where she is basking in the glory 
  and the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and her many loved ones 
  who have gone on before. We love and will hold many precious memories of you in 
  our hearts. Surviving are eight children, Shirley M. Jones of New Holland, 
  Clara M. (Pastor Eugene) Weaver of Stevens, Marlene C. (the Rev. Richard) 
  Martin of Lebanon, Melvin G. (Lois) Esch of Ephrata, Robert L. (Rose Ann) Esch 
  of Denver, Linda L. (Larry Gwinn) of Reinholds, Jane L. (Earl) Martin of 
  Manheim, and Rita F. (J. Jeffrey) Long of Annville; 19 grandchildren; 42 
  greatgrandchildren; and three great-greatgrandchildren. She was predeceased by 
  brothers Charles and Lester Miles; sister Elizabeth McClenaghan; a grandson, 
  Randy L. Esch; and great-greatgrandson Cody B. Jones. Funeral Thursday at 10 
  a.m. at Harvest Fellowship, 34 W. Church St., Stevens, PA 17578, with a viewing 
  on Wednesday from 6-8 p.m., and on Thursday from 9-10 a.m., both at the church. 
  Memorial contributions may be made to her church for the Kenya Orphanage Fund.
