Earle Showalter, 73

Earle Showalter, 73, went to be with his Lord on Thursday. He was surrounded by his wife and loving friends and pastor who comforted him on this final journey. He was the son of the late Forrest and Mary Showalter.

He was retired from DuPont, and was an avid farmer. He loved his farm, and animals with a passion. His greatest joy was being there. He was a loving and caring person; and looked for opportunities to help people in the Chester Community.

He was preceeded in death by his infant sister, and two brothers.

He is survived by his wife, Ellen Showalter. A nephew, Clay Showalter and family, a dear cousin Ruth Flynn, his dear and loved friends John Hill, Carla and Steve Marcinko, Jessica, Jason, Carly and their families. Their children were a great joy to him, and he especially loved Sean’s white car, and his frequent phone visits with Ruth.

We thank Pastor Adam Will for his prayers, comfort and support during this time. Per Earle’s wishes there will be no viewing or funeral. A memorial service in his memory will be held at the family’s convenience at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Mt. Hermon Church.
