Mary Foehl

Mary Louise VanBrookhoven Foehl was born in Lancaster, PA to Henry VanBrookhoven, Jr and Grace Louise Clark VanBrookhoven on April 13, 1930.  Her brother, Eugene VanBrookhoven and his spouse Ethel Irene Hines of California; and sister Kathleen V. Romp and her spouse, Robert Romp preceded her in death. She was the devoted wife of the late Luther P. Foehl, of Newtown Square, PA.  Mary is survived by her grandchildren, Kimberlee J. Nelson and spouse Edgar Nelson; Robert L. Feeser and spouse Andrea E. Feeser; Major (Retired) Bryan R. Feeser and spouse Sherri Feeser; 7 great-grandchildren who lovingly call her “GG”; and several nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.

Mary graduated from J.P. McCaskey High School in 1947. In the course of her life, Mary was employed by Armstrong Industries, Lancaster; Advance Products, in Philadelphia; and the American Institutes of Underwriters where she retired after more than 20 years at the age of 83.  Throughout her life, she was a longstanding member of the Women’s Auxiliary of Eastern Baptist Seminary and the First Baptist Church of Malvern, PA, serving on the Board of Deacons, Chairman of the Doris Dickerson Circle for women’s missions, Sunday school teacher, and Superintendent and mezzo-soprano in the choir. Mary also consistently supported The Gideons International mission providing Bibles throughout the world and was civic-minded volunteering for many years at voting polls, libraries, and bringing God's Word to prison inmates.
