Obituary for Gladys M. (Lodge) Schell
Gladys M. Schell, of Perkasie, formerly of Hilltown Township and Hatboro, went Home to be with the Lord on Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25, 2013, at her residence. She was the beloved wife of the late Thomas W. Schell, who died in 1987. She was 83.
Born in Bryn Athyn, she was the daughter of the late Horace and Edith (Thomas) Lodge. Gladys was a 1948 graduate of Lower Moreland High School.
Mrs. Schell had been employed as a cafeteria worker at Crooked Billet Elementary School, Hatboro for many years.
Gladys had been a member of First United Methodist Church, Perkasie.
Affectionately known to all as “Ga,” a name earned when her first grandchild could not yet say Grandmom, Gladys always joked that she was the original Lady Gaga.
She loved all animals and supported the Bucks County SPCA. She was also a proud supporter of the U.S.O.
An avid fan of the Phillies, Gladys also followed the New Orleans Saints and college football, especially Penn State.
She enjoyed reading and going out to eat with friends and family, to whom she was jokingly known as a “professional eater.” Most especially, she loved spending time with her grandchildren.
Mrs. Schell is survived by her daughter and best friend, Deborah A. Gunter, and her husband, Paul; three grandchildren: Scott T. Gunter, Christopher P. Gunter, and Stacey M. Gunter, all of Perkasie; a sister, Harriet Clayton, and her husband, David, of Sellersville; dear friends, Marie Hartley, Mary Yerkes and all of the “Golden Girls Cardiac Rehab. Group;” her dog, “Meeko;” and her two cats, “Patches” and “Callie.”
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Stephen W. Schell, in 2011; and two brothers and sisters-in-law: Horace Lodge, Jr. and his wife, Mildred, and William Lodge and his wife, Dorothy.
Her memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, December 31, 2013, in the Betty Meier Steeley Funeral Home, 87 North Main Street, Sellersville, PA 18960. A visitation will be held at the funeral home from 10 a.m. until the time of service.
Interment will follow in Whitemarsh Memorial Park, Prospectville.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Mrs. Schell’s name to the Bucks County SPCA, P.O. Box 277, Lahaska, PA 18931.
