  Almira Pratt Moury, 92 LEBANON Almira O. Pratt Moury, 92, of the Lebanon Valley 
  Brethren Home, Palmyra, went home to her Lord and Savior on April 18, 2008, at 
  Hershey Medical Center. Born in Norwood, R.I., on Feb. 9, 1916, she was the 
  daughter of the late Walter and Lucy (Rose) Pratt. She married Frederick J. 
  Moury on Aug. 19, 1941, and would have celebrated their 67th anniversary this 
  summer. She is also survived by daughter, Caroline Yocum (Fred) Brewer of 
  Maine; two sons, the Rev. Fred (Miriam) of Lititz and Andrew (Sally) of 
  McKeesport; eight grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. She was 
  predeceased in January by a daughter, Cynthia Farr (Jim), a Wycliffe Bible 
  translator in Papua New Guinea; and a grandson, Stephen Yocum. Formerly a 
  resident of Aldan, Pa., Almira moved to LVBH in 1986, where she had served as 
  secretary of the Independent Living Community and played the piano for chapel 
  services. She was a member of Aldan Union Church, where she formerly taught 
  Sunday school, led in women's fellowship, and worked with God's Special People. 
  In the community, she was a Girl Scout leader, Red Cross volunteer, and member 
  of Wycliffe Associates. She was also secretary in the former northeast regional 
  office of Wycliffe Bible Translators in Springfield, Pa. Since moving to 
  Palmyra, she attended Lebanon Valley Bible Church and was active with the 
  Senior Saints there. She was also a member of the Rhode Island Mayflower 
  Society. A devoted housewife and mother, Almira enjoyed spending time with her 
  family, playing the piano, and doing handwork. She leaves a precious legacy of 
  faith and faithfulness for all who knew her. The funeral will be held in the 
  chapel of Lebanon Valley Brethren Home at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 23, with 
  the Rev. Norman Yeater and the Rev. William Neef officiating. A viewing and 
  family visitation will take place one hour prior to the service. Interment will 
  be in Gravel Hill Cemetery. Rothermel Funeral Home is in charge of 
  arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be directed to Aldan Union
