  Adams, Elizabeth A. "Betty Ann" (Cassel)   
   
  Elizabeth A. "Betty Ann" Adams Elizabeth A. "Betty Ann" Cassel Adams, 83, of 
  3470 Oak St., Lebanon, formerly of Suedberg, died Monday, March 9, 2009, at 
  Ephrata Community Hospital after prolonged illness. Born in Norristown, Pa., 
  March 4, 1926, she was the daughter of the late Norman and Margaret A. Felty 
  Cassel. A 1944 graduate of Pine Grove High School, she completed secretarial 
  studies at Central Pennsylvania Business College, Harrisburg. A homemaker since 
  her marriage, October 2, 1948, she was involved in music activities at Suedberg 
  Church of God, of which she was a lifelong member, serving as Sunday school 
  pianist or church organist for more than 65 years. Beginning in the mid1950s, 
  she organized a junior choir, assisted with junior church music, taught Sunday 
  school and vacation bible school, and participated in fundraising for the 
  church by making sticky buns and fastnachts. In retirement, after a brief 
  career as a teacher's aide in the Pine Grove area schools, Betty Ann 
  volunteered for more than 15 years with the American Cancer Society, 
  transporting patients for therapy, doing administrative work in the district 
  office, and delivering daffodils. Subsequently, until declining health prompted 
  her withdrawal, she served as a volunteer at the Hyman Caplan Pavilion of the 
  Good Samaritan Hospital for several years. Along with her husband, she enjoyed 
  extensive travel throughout the United States and abroad. Her children and 
  grandchildren were her greatest joy. In addition to her parents, she was 
  preceded in death by an infant brother, Norman; her maternal grandparents, 
  Jacob and Sallie Miller Felty, in whose home she was raised; aunts, uncles, and 
  cousins. Surviving are her husband of 60 years, Carl H. Adams; a daughter, 
  Jane, wife of Edward W. Shirk of Ephrata; a son, John Adams of Raleigh, North 
  Carolina; two grandchildren, Ryan E. Shirk and his wife, Amanda, and Rebecca J. 
  Haken and her husband, Bill; a sister-in-law, Hilda C. Felty; her dearest 
  friend, "sister" Anna Bohr; cousins, nieces, and nephews. The family plans a 
  celebration of her life, conducted by Pastor Terrence Jansma, at 11 a.m. 
  Friday, March 14, 2009, at Suedberg Church of God, 11 Old Forge Road, Pine 
  Grove, PA 17963, with visitation preceding at the church beginning at 10 a.m. 
  Interment will follow in the Church of God Cemetery. Flowers are welcome; 
  however, the family requests memorials be designated for the Suedberg Church of 
  God Memorial Fund, P. O. Box 106, Pine Grove, PA 17963; or Hospice of Lancaster 
  County, 685 Good Drive, Lancaster, PA 17604-4125. The H.L. Snyder Funeral Home, 
  Pine Grove, is in charge of arrangements. Betty Ann's family wishes to extend 
  their heartfelt gratitude to the medical and support staff of Ephrata Community 
  Hospital for their constant, compassionate care; to Hospice of Lancaster County 
  for allowing our loved one to depart in peace and comfort; and to the many dear 
  family, friends, and clergy for their love, support, and prayerful visits.
