Mt. Pleasant Mills, PA

Grace B. (Funk) Teats, 83, of Mt. Pleasant Mills, entered eternal rest peacefully on Friday, August 11, 2023, at Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg surrounded by her family. 

Grace was born on April 11, 1940, in Sunbury, a daughter of the late John E. Funk and Sophia A. (Molyneux) (Funk) Forrey.  On May 23, 1959, she married the love of her life, Donald C. Teats, who preceded her exactly 20 years ago on August 11, 2003.

Grace attended Sunbury High School and was a homemaker who enjoyed babysitting her grandchildren when they were younger.

She was a member of AARP, Reliance Hose Company in Middleburg, and Richfield Ambulance League.

Her hobbies included crocheting, doing crafts, playing games, watching nature, having conversations, drawing, doing word searches and sudoku, listening to 50’s music, particularly “Fats” Domino, watching Jimmy Swigart, and attending sporting events to watch her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Her greatest enjoyment in life was spending precious time with her family.

Grace is survived by her daughters, Selena C. T. Shellenberger and Angela L. Stahr and her husband Herman H. Stahr, Jr.; grandchildren, Skipper Shellenberger and his fiance’ Sabrey (Bree) Zimmerman and Christa Metz and her husband Christopher; great-grandchildren, Wyatt Shellenberger, Charlotte Shellenberger, Grace Shellenberger, and Carletta Metz; sister, Mary Shellenberger; numerous nieces and nephews; and her compassionate caregivers, Lori Auker, Nicole Lehman, Kiera Keister, Margaret Glass, Skipper Shellenberger, Paula Pannebaker, Kallie Cornwell, the late Ruth Knouse.

She is preceded in passing by her parents; her husband, Donald; sisters, Betty Bostian, Romayne “Mayne” Funk, and Elizabeth “Liz” Hunt; brothers, George “Goose” Funk, Robert “Bobby” Funk, Daniel (Danny) Funk; and several nieces and nephews.

A viewing will be held on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with a funeral service beginning at 11:00 a.m. at George P. Garman Funeral Homes, Inc., 9366 Route 35, Mt. Pleasant Mills, PA 17853, with Rev. Jackie Heitmann officiating.
