Mary Earle

Mary J. Earle, 67, of Ephrata, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 7, 2021. Born in Bethel, Mary was a daughter to the late Donald & Dorothy (Schnoke) Miller and the loving wife of 23 years to Clifford M. Earle. Mary brought great joy to everyone who knew her; her fun-loving manner and bright humor will forever be remembered. Yard sales were like treasure hunts to Mary; she loved small town adventures and activities. She enjoyed gardening and took pride in her flowerbeds. Everyone loved her PA-Dutch specialties - corn pie, fried potatoes, and kidney beans with sausage. Her love of music put a bounce in her step and her love for her family filled her whole heart. She leaves a Legacy of Love - A wife, a mother, a grandma too, this is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to fight, you gave us strength, you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, and in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, not just as a wife, not just as a mother. For all of us, you gave your best, now the time has come for you to rest. So, go in peace, you've earned your sleep, your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep. Mary is survived by four children, Bob 'Bup' Brugger (Marilyn) of Adamstown, Melissa 'Lisa' (Mike) Fausnacht of Crestview, FL; Michael (Phanna) Miller of Leola; and Melannie (Chad) Bryson-Harbach of Manheim; eight grandchildren, Michael Adams, Brittani Gundrum, Nathan Bryson, Brady Bryson, Jake Harbach, Brady Harbach, Alexandra Barrall, Zachary Barrall; six great grandchildren; two sisters; and three brothers. She was predeceased by grandsons, Joshua Brugger, Jeremiah "Bubba" Brugger; and Nicolas Bryson; and two sisters.
