  MYERSTOWN Helen M. (Ketner) Krott, 95, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, 
  January 31, 2012, at the Poplar Run Campus of the Stone Ridge Retirement 
  Community in Myerstown. She was born on September 24, 1916, in Wernersville, 
  the daughter of the late Jacob and Annie Ketner. She graduated from 
  Wernersville High School in 1934, and from the Pennsylvania State University 
  in 1938 with a degree in Education and began her teaching career in the Exeter 
  School District soon thereafter. On December 25, 1941, she married Paul Grebe 
  Krott, who passed away in 1998. From 1951 to 1981 she was a teacher in the 
  Conrad Weiser School District, teaching health and physical education. In 
  1966, she became the Guidance Counselor at Conrad Weiser, and in 1971 got her 
  Masters Degree in Counseling from Kutztown University. She was instrumental in 
  starting the girl's athletic department at Conrad Weiser High School, which 
  included field hockey, tennis, and basketball interscholastic teams. She 
  retired from teaching in 1981, but remained very active in community affairs. 
  Helen, in both her personal and professional lives, sought to advocate for and 
  encourage the development of young people through education. She was a member 
  of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Wernersville, where she was baptized, 
  confirmed, and married. She was a member of the Berks Area Counselors' 
  Association, the Pennsylvania School Counselors' Association, the American 
  Personnel and Guidance Association, the American Association of University 
  Women, the Wernersville Women's Club, the Disaster Action Team of the American 
  Red Cross, and the Heidelberg Heritage Society. She was a past board member of 
  the Directors of the Wernersville Library. She also was a member of the Order 
  of the Eastern Star, and the Historical Society of Berks County Auxiliary. 
  While at Penn State, she was a member of the Delta Gamma Sorority, and later, 
  the Reading area Pan-Hellenic Association. She was the first Chairwoman of the 
  Wernersville Borough Council, and was an active leader in the Girl Scouts of 
  America. Helen was admired by many for her courage in the face of physical 
  disability, her dedication to community service, and her devotion to family 
  and friends. She is survived by two brothers, Richard Ketner and his wife,
