Obituary

Jeannette Letitia (Henry) Uibel, 91, of Reamstown, passed away Monday, April 13, 2026. Born in Adamstown, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Viola (Unruh) Henry and the devoted wife of Stanley M. Uibel, with whom she shared 69 years of marriage.

Jeannette was a graduate of East Cocalico High School, Class of 1952, and also attended Grace Bible Institute. She completed her training as an X‑ray technician and worked at Ephrata Hospital for several years. In addition, she was employed at the former Donecker’s in Ephrata and at Modern Cleaners. For many years, she was self‑employed as a seamstress.

Jeannette was also an accomplished quilter. She possessed an exceptional eye for color and design, creating beautiful quilts that reflected both her creativity and care for others. A former member of Emmanuel Mennonite Church, she taught Sunday School and later attended Pine Grove Church in Bowmansville. Family was central to her life, and she especially cherished the annual family vacation to Cape May, New Jersey. She enjoyed volunteering with the Lions Club during the Ephrata Fair, where she helped pat oysters for the club’s well‑known oyster sandwiches.

Jeannette had a wonderful sense of humor and took great delight in having fun with her grandchildren, with whom she shared laughter, warmth, and lasting memories. She was generous, kind, and deeply devoted to her family.

In addition to her husband, Jeannette is survived by five children: Susan Uibel (Nina Haller) of Denver; Audrey Herr (John) of Pequea; Lori Wise (Tim) of Stevens; Matthew Uibel (Anita Cook) of New Cumberland; and Rachel Carpenter (Jason) of Denver. She is also survived by nine grandchildren: Abigail Dixon (Wise), Emily Wise, Julie Herr, Kelly Herr, Matthew Uibel, Natalie Uibel, Sarah Max (Carpenter), Isaac Carpenter, and Margaret Carpenter; three great‑grandchildren, Henry Dixon, Samuel Dixon, and Daniel Carpenter; and one great‑grandchildren on the way. She was preceded in death by her brother, Ronald Henry.

A Life Celebration Service will be held Sunday, June 28th at Faith United Evangelical Lutheran Church, 357 Walnut Street, Denver, PA 17517. Visitation: 1 - 2:00p.m.; Service: 2:00 p.m., followed by internment at Steinmetz Cemetery.
