Marilyn Kay (Briner) Schreffler

Proud Wife & Mother -

Marilyn Kay (Briner) Schreffler, age 58, of Mechanicsburg, peacefully entered into eternal life while at home on Tuesday, November 24, 2015.  Marilyn was born on Thursday, February 7, 1957, in Harrisburg, to Joyce Adora (Shunk) Briner and the late Miles Gifford Briner.

Marilyn’s survivors include her devoted husband of 36 years, Darryl Jay Schreffler; her daughter, Amanda Day Peed and her husband, Joshua Adam, and their son, Malachi Adam; her son, Adam David Schreffler and his wife, Mallory, and their daughter, Aurora Mae; her mother, Joyce Adora (Shunk) Briner; her four siblings, Gifford Briner, Jane A. (Briner) Price, John Briner, Robert Briner; and several nieces and nephews.

Marilyn served the Lord faithfully since the age of twelve.  She graduated from Cumberland Valley High School as part of the class of 1975, and from Central Pennsylvania Business School in 1977 with a degree in computer programming.  To Marilyn, being a homemaker was the greatest career imaginable, and she was a proud wife and mother.  Her family remembers her as being a creative cook and baker and that she loved to make the most delicious Christmas cookies in many varieties.  Darryl lovingly describes his wife as an extremely logical thinker and as being even more so than himself.  With a competitive spirit and her logical thinking, Marilyn enjoyed playing all types of games with family and friends.  A generous person, she gave gifts to others at every opportunity.  Her spirit of love and generosity made Marilyn a fantastic listener and confidant who was always willing to share her wisdom.  She will be forever loved and deeply missed.
