A devoted member of Reedsville United Methodist Church, Erlene was active in the church choir and carried her love of music throughout her life, often filling her home with song. She was a founding member of the RUM Cooks, that were locally famous for their raisin filled cookies and pies.

Erlene was a hardworking and creative woman. Over the years, she worked at various places including Arrow Shirt Factory, Juniata Valley Association for the Blind, American Viscose, Scotty’s Fashions, and the YeagerMill Inn. Most recently, she was an integral part of Seven Mountains Wine Cellars, helping her son Scott in the winery’s early days. Known for her talents in crafting, cake-making, woodworking, and painting, Erlene was a “jack of all trades.” She was fiercely independent and strong-willed, a loving mother, grandmother, and friend who touched many lives and will be deeply missed. Most of all, she was proud of her family.

Her family, friends, and community will remember her creativity, generosity, and the joy she brought into their lives through her music, crafts, and love.
