  Dorothy A. Wida 
  
  VACAVILLE, CA Dorothy Alverta Wida, 84, previously of Cornwall, gave up her 
  spirit to be with the Lord on Friday, May 20, 2011, at Emeritus at Vacaville, 
  Calif. She was the wife of the late Andrew P. Wida. She was the second of six 
  children born in rural Rapho Township, Lancaster County, on September 28, 1926. 
  She was the daughter of the late Warren W., Sr. and Sarah L. (Young ) Kline. 
  She graduated from Manheim High School in 1944 and attended Elizabethtown 
  College where she graduated with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education in 
  1948. Dorothy held teaching positions at several rural Lancaster County schools 
  before moving on to the Cornwall School District. She spent many years teaching 
  at the former Donaghmore School on Chestnut St. in Lebanon, and then finished 
  her career at the Cornwall Elementary School in Cornwall. Dorothy was an 
  international traveler, having begun with her husband, Andy, and the boys, and 
  in later years with close friends and relatives. She considered herself a very 
  lucky person to have been able to visit and experience so many places in the 
  world. Since her conversion to Catholicism after her marriage in 1948, she had 
  become an active member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Cornwall and her 
  Christian faith played a major role throughout her life. Dorothy was a member 
  of various Catholic women's organizations, and volunteered for several annual 
  church functions throughout the years. She is survived by two sons, Steve Wida 
  of Fairfield, Calif., and Tom Wida of Easton; five grandchildren; three great-
  grandchildren; three sisters, Margaret Lorah of Denver, Pa., Faye Kreiser of 
  Palmyra, and Patricia Kline of Surprise, Ariz.; a brother, Warren Kline, Jr. of 
  Manheim; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her 
  brother, Carl Kline, Sr. Mass of Christian Burial Saturday 10 a.m. at Sacred 
  Heart Church, 2596 Cornwall Road, Cornwall. Interment at Holy Savior Catholic 
  Cemetery, Cornwall. Viewing hours Saturday morning from 9 to 10 a.m. at the 
  church social hall. Donations, in lieu of flowers, can be sent to Cornwall 
  School PTO in memory of Dorothy Wida.  Thompson Funeral Home, Inc. is entrusted 
  with the arrangements.
