  preceded in death by brothers, Hugh, Hiram and Victor, and sister, Marguerite. 
  Upon graduation from Kutztown High School and Allentown Business College,

  is there she met her future husband, Ralph W. Fink. Ralph and Clarabel were 
  married nearly 60 years until his death in 2005. Together, Clarabel and her

  retirement as houseparents, they served as hosts greeting visitors at the 
  school's Founders Hall and retired in 2002 with over 50 years of service to 
  the school. For her service, Clarabel was named an Honorary Alumnus of the 
  Milton Hershey School. Surviving Clarabel are her son, Stacey M. Fink, MD, PhD 
  and daughter-in-law, Karen L. Ketner-Fink of Lititz; as well as niece, Janice 
  Osborne of Lancaster; nephew, Hiram Hoch of Reading; and nephew, Robert 
  Rebling of Westfield, Ind. The family expresses their heartfelt appreciation 
  to the staff of Mennonite Home Communities for the loving care, friendship and 
  support given to Clarabel since her stroke in 2005. Clarabel was a member of 
  Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hershey. Her pastor, the Rev. Cindy A. Brommer
