  RYDAL Myrtle Sherk Hagaman, a centenarian, lived in Palmyra for many years and 
  died Saturday, October 9, 2010, in a nursing facility near her daughter's home 
  in Rydal. She was the beloved wife of the late Harold Spencer Hagaman and the 
  oldest daughter of Samuel Guy and Lillian (Gernert) Sherk. She is survived by 
  daughter, Clee Leonard (husband Edward); and grandsons, Eric (wife Chitra) of 
  Morris Township, N.J., and Douglas (wife Diana, son Oliver) of San Diego, 
  Calif. A sister, Aurie Rothgaber, lives in Hershey, and a brother, Richard 
  Sherk, in Carlisle. Five siblings predeceased her. She was born January 18, 
  1910, on her parents' farm between Lickdale and Fredericksburg. She loved music 
  and at 15 was elected "pianist" of the Union Salem Sunday School near Lickdale, 
  where her mother became "assistant pianist." She later studied piano with 
  Professor Johann M. Blose at his Lebanon Institute of Musical Art. While 
  working as an assistant housemother at the Milton Hershey School, she met her 
  husband, a physical education teacher, who died in 1975. Myrtle was an active 
  member and volunteer at Palmyra's First United Methodist Church for almost 50 
  years. Services will be held Saturday at 12 noon at Rothermel Funeral Home &
