Mildred Kreider Wenger, 90, of Ephrata, passed away on Sunday, May 7, 2017, at Fairmount Homes.

Born on May 22, 1926 in Hershey, she was the daughter of late Aaron and Katie (Lehman) Kreider and was the wife of the late Daniel E. Wenger for 70 years, who preceded her in death 8 months ago.

She also wrote children's stories based on anecdotes from her grandchildren's lives which were featured in numerous church papers. Many devotional readings have also been published. Together Mildred and Dan worked as volunteers with MCC and traveled with MCC groups to visit countries where those craft products were handmade.
