PENNS CREEK — Dharlys M. Walter, 74, of Loss Road, went home to be with her Lord and Savior whom she loved dearly on Monday, Oct. 3, 2011 at 7:35 a.m. at her home.

She was born April 25, 1937, in Millersburg, a daughter of the late John F. and Bessie I. (Keiter) Stence. On June 18, 1955, she was united in marriage to Rev. Kenneth E. Walter who survives.

She attended Millersburg High School and graduated in 1954 from the Allentown Bible Institute. She earned her LPN in Orlando, Fla., and received her registered nurse certification from the West Palm Beach Junior College in Florida. She had the unique experience of becoming a registered nurse with her daughter, Judy, in 1977, when they took the nursing board exams together.

She was a registered nurse with 22 years of service at Evangelical Community Hospital, Lewisburg.

She was a charter member of the Mountain Road God's Missionary Church, Penns Creek, and a member of the Decorative Painter's Society.

Dharlys was an excellent cook, had a great sense of humor and used that talent along with her gift of hospitality assisting her husband in his ministry. Throughout the years she had many miniature dachshund's which brought her great pleasure.

In addition to her husband of 56 years, she is survived by one daughter and son-in-law, Judy Ann and Rev. Stephen P. West, of Mahaffey; two sons and daughters-in-law, Keith E. and Denessa Walter, of Penns Creek, and Rev. Alan K. and Anita Walter, of Beckley, W.Va.; eight grandchildren, Jeffrey, Paul and Stephen R. West, Wesley and Curtis Walter, Natasha Orvis, Amber Carter, and Andrew Walter; 13 great-grandchildren, Kyle, Jason, Kaylee, Jenna, Catelyn, Breanna, Landon, Chloe, Daniel, James, Caleb, Felicity, and Cheyenna; one brother, Bob Stence, of San Diego, Calif.; and four sisters, Barbara Adams, of Ephrata, Shirley Whitman, of Millersburg, Freeda Koppenhaver, of Spring Glen, and Gladys Fahnestock, of Halifax.

She was preceded in death by one son, Wesley David Walter in infancy in 1964, and one brother, William Stence, and two sisters, Betty George and Mary Etzweiler.

Friends and family will be received from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at Mountain Road God's Missionary Church, Penns Creek, where the funeral will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday with her son, the Rev. Alan K. Walter officiating, assisted by other family clergy members.
