Marlene Francis Battisti (Piskel)
Marlene Francis Battisti (Piskel), age 89, passed away peacefully at her home in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 11, 2026. Known affectionately as “Pickle” in her high school days, Marlene was a woman of vibrant energy, deep faith, and a steadfast loyalty to the family and friends she held dear.
A Life of Joy and Community Service
Born on May 4, 1937, at Hazleton State General Hospital, Marlene was raised in Tresco, Pennsylvania, by her parents, Michael and Mary Piskel. She graduated from Hazleton Senior High School in 1954, where she proudly brought joy and energy to the community as a member of the cheerleading squad.
On September 22, 1962, she married the love of her life, Joseph Benjamin Battisti. Together, they shared 64 years of a beautiful, dedicated marriage. Marlene loved nothing more than to “cut a rug” with Joe at parties and weddings; once she stepped onto the dance floor, it was nearly impossible to get her off it. Her athletic spirit extended well past the dance floor and cheerleading; throughout the 1970s, she was an outstanding bowler, ruling the lanes in a local women’s bowling league.
A resident of Ephrata since 1964, Marlene was a devout parishioner of Our Mother of Perpetual Help (OMPH)
band, Joseph Benjamin Battisti; her daughter, Marybeth Parkes, and son-in-law, Andy Parkes, along with her grandchildren, Tycho and Adalai Marlana. She is also survived by her son, Joseph Alexander Battisti, her grandson Joshua Battisti, and his family.
Joanne M. Horst, 94, Leola, passed away on Thursday, June 18.
She was the wife of the late Melvin J. Horst.
ia; and Andrew Kreck, husband of Karen Marie, San Jose, California; and a sister, Karen Anne Kreck, Vineland, New Jersey.
Sylvia A. Miller, 87, wife of Larry D. Miller, Lititz, passed away on Monday, July 6.
Catholic Church. She was
Catholic Church. She was deeply committed to community leadership and public service. For over ten years, she was an active member of the Women’s Democratic Society of Lancaster, PA, serving with pride in executive leadership roles as both Treasurer and Secretary. Her extensive civic contributions were officially recognized in 2003 when the local Sertoma Club honored her as their Person of the Year.
Marlene also dedicated her time to youth leadership. She proudly served as the Den Mother for her son, Joey’s, Cub Scout troop. While she brought her signature dedication to the role, Joey somehow managed to graduate from the troop having learned absolutely nothing - a fact the family continues to enjoy laughing about.
Family Legacy
Marlene’s greatest pride was her family. She is survived by her beloved hus-
She was reunited in heaven with her father, Michael Piskel; her mother, Mary Piskel (Rymond); her sister, Carmine Manganelli; two young brothers who passed away in infancy; and her precious granddaughter, Sophia Battisti, who tragically passed away in 2022.
Service and Memorial Information
A public viewing will be held at Our Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, located at 320 Church Ave, Ephrata, PA, on Thursday, July 23, 2026, from 9:00am to 11:00am. A Funeral Mass will immediately follow to celebrate Marlene’s beautiful life. Final Commendation and Farewell will take place in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Ephrata.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made in Marlene’s honor to Caring Hospice Services of Central PA, 101 Good Drive, Unit 1, Lancaster, PA 17603. Their compassionate care and support were an incredible blessing, and the family could not have gotten through this difficult time without them. The family is deeply grateful for all they did.
Arrangements by Stradling Funeral Homes, Inc., Akron/ Ephrata. Online condolences can be given at stradlingfuneralhome.com.
She is survived by two sons: Gary Horst, husband of Jan, and Todd Horst; three daughters: Deborah McIntosh; Marcia Correa, wife of Hugo; and Margaret Stoltzfus, wife of Terry; nine grandchildren; and 14 greatgrandchildren.
Brian Hanna, 69, formerly of Lititz, passed away on Sunday, June 28.
He is survived by a brother, John, husband of Cindy Hanna, Lancaster; and a sister, Bev Zimmerman.

Mocking others
My Mother did not believe in.
Had we children tried it, She would not have allowed it.
It was her opinion
Not all folk are alike, Not everyone is smart, Not everyone is rich.
August 28, 1988
Not all have proper understanding,
Such people we should not tease.
Be thankful for what we are, Don’t make fun of poor souls.
They cannot earn much
With their pay as hired help.
They work longer hours than the clever
And appreciate more their rest.
They have not enough money
To buy fine clothes.
They have no vehicle to drive
To get somewhere, they must walk.
They own not home;
They live in rented houses,
To live first class
They’ve never been accustomed.
To people not responsible
Not much is offered.
Let us count our blessings,
And not mock those with fewer blessings. ***
SCHPODDE was written on August 28, 1988, the 70th birthday of die Anna vun Bannwill. As with many of her poems, SCHPODDE expresses one of her Mother’s deep convictions. According to the chronology given in volume four of Anna’s poems, SCHPODDE is the last poem from the now silent pen of Anna F. Faust.
SCHPODDE is taken from the fourth and final volume of poems by Anna F. Faust, Die Anna vun Bannwill, which was published in January of 1989 by Betsy Reifsnyder, Anna’s niece, the daughter of Edith Reifsnyder. This volume, which contains the poems written from January through August 1988, is entitled: “DIE ANNA VUN BANNWILL: DIE 1988 GEDICHDE. Anna of Bernville: The 1988 Poems. It

“Put evil in its place”
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Romans 12:21“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Last week, we ended with a summary of some ways to overcome evil with good. These principles are as follows: Take insults patiently (people will intentionally seek to belittle and insult you if you stand for Christ); don’t be easily offended; don’t try to get even, God will judge… leave it to Him (He is better at it); be able to refute the evil of false doctrine (it will always be a present threat to you, your family, your neighborhood and your church); make sure your life and lip are in harmony with God’s ways and
character (we aren’t talking about perfection).
Titus 2:7-8 pretty much sums it up; “In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.” The Bible mentions being zealous or eager for good works, ready for good works, careful to engage in good works. These come from the book of Titus alone. We need to look for and prepare for any good work we can do for our family, friends, church and especially any unbelievers. We need the eternal perception to see people as they can be in Christ, not as they are. Just look in the mirror; you’re not what you once were, you’re not what you are going to be, but praise God… you’re better than you used to be.
There are some sure ways to kill good works you may be considering, and the first one is procrastination (another time). Just think of the times you wanted to do a
good work and put it off. Before we know it, the opportunity is gone and we say to ourselves, “I wish I would have!” How easy it is to de-
lay obedience, make excuses or just put it off. Nike doesn’t get much right, but one thing they did, they hit the nail on the head in their
logo, “Just do it.” We have some scriptural examples of procrastination: Felix delayed a decision to believe. After Paul spoke to him at trial about righteousness, self-control, and coming judgment, his answer was; “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you” (Acts 24:25). Convenient is anathema to the Christ life. When was Christ’s life convenient? When was Paul’s life directed by convenience? They used every moment to redeem the time for eternity.
Excuses, excuses, excuses… don’t try to wiggle out of good works with excuses! Why not be honest about it and just come right out and say, “I don’t want to” or “I won’t do it?” Remember the parable of the banquet when everyone made excuses? I bought a field and have to check it out, I bought oxen and have to test them, I just got married. The master of the house was angry and he said to the servants to go out and invite the blind, the lame, and the poor. While this parable is about people and their response to the call
of God to salvation after salvation, God expects us to do His work. He does call us to a work as well. What is our response? Remember what we said previously; “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).
Another example of procrastination was Lot. After being told by angels that God is going destroy Sodom and to immediately flee its destruction, Lot hesitated and “lingered.” The angels had to physically take them by the hands and pull them out of the city. So, don’t let procrastination diminish what God wants to do through you. Good works will be the open door to sharing the gospel. Good works will ultimately bring glory to God. Let your light shine so that men will see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. We will pick up our theme next week.

* On July 20, 1963, Jan and Dean’s song “Surf City” made it to the top of the American pop charts. While its opening line “Two girls for every boy!” was more wishful thinking than fact, it created an image of California as a paradise that featured plenty of sun, sand, endless waves and summers.
* On July 21, 365, an earthquake off the coast of Greece, estimated by scientists to actually have been two tremors in succession, caused a tsunami that devastated the city of Alexandria, Egypt. Approximately 5,000 people were killed and 50,000 homes destroyed.
* On July 22, 1894, the world’s first automobile race took place, with 17 of 21 entrants completing the route from Paris to Rouen, France, covering a distance of 78.3 miles. The Paris-Rouen Trial paved the way for future such races and signaled the dawn of the motor age by showcasing the reliability of the automobile.

(Continued From Page 4A)
contains a brief history of the Degler and Schaeffer families and was edited by Betsy Reifsnyder.
The Preface provided by Betsy Reifsnyder is most helpful in understanding Anna Faust’s poetry, her life and her times. This paragraph from the Preface gives an excellent overview of Anna’s productivity:
“With the publication of Volume IV, it is time to count the poems written by Anna Faust, who is truly a prolific author. She wrote one PA German poem in 1973 but did not really start writing in earnest until May of 1985. In 1985, she began by writing nine poems. In 1986, this increased to 75 poems; similarly, in 1987, 77 poems were written. In 1988 - her most prolific year, die Anna vun Bannwull wrote 83 poems and this was between January and August 28, 1988, her 70th birthday.” (This amounts to a total of 245 Dutch poems!!!)
Betsy Reifsnyder’s Preface also includes Anna’s Leweslaaf, which tells of her parents, her siblings and of her grandparents; of her marriage, motherhood, and widowhood after 34 happy years of marriage. Anna was a lifelong church member, a daily walker and a knitter.
Betsy Reifsnyder has now completed her project of publishing all of her aunt’s poems. All of the Dutch poems of Anna F. Faust, die Anna vun Bannwill, are now available in four booklets. The final volume is entitled: DIE ANNA VUN BANNWILL: DIE 1988 GEDISHDE. Anna of Bernville: The 1988 Poems. ***
This week we salute the memory of die Anna vun Bannwill, a great lady of PA Dutch letters, and her devoted niece, Betsy Reifsnyder, who has insured that the poems of her Aunt, Anna F. Faust, have been preserved for the present generation and those yet to come.

Retirement provides individuals with ample time to engage in activities they enjoy. Many seniors spend that newfound free time relaxing and seeing the sights.
Seniors are a travel-friendly demographic. The World Tourism Organization says that, in 1999, more than 593 million international travelers were age 60 years and older. Seniors are projected to take two billion trips annually by 2050. As Baby Boomers and Generation Xers continue to retire, a larger portion of the overall population will have time to travel.
When seniors plan trips, they have many ways to get around in style.
Cruising
Cruising can be an ideal way for older adults to travel. Cruise ships depart from ports across the world and travelers can choose from an array of itineraries. People can travel on cruises that are at sea for as few as three to five days to others that are out for weeks at a time.
One reason seniors enjoy cruising is because it’s allinclusive with little extra planning required. Step aboard a cruise ship and enjoy a floating hotel complete with food, lodging, entertainment, shopping, gambling, and much more. Organized excursions at ports of call can add to the thrill of cruising.
Guided Tours
Escorted tours are another option seniors may want to consider. By working with reputable tour operators, seniors can engage in affordable, safe and comfortable tours via bus, train or other modes of travel. Tour companies take the work out of the trips by handling the details and showcasing the best locales. Tour experts know when to schedule meals and sightseeing to avoid the crowds so that everyone can sit back and relax on their adventures.
RV Excursions
Travel by recreational vehicle is a great way for individuals with time on their
hands to see the sights up close and personal. When RVing, the time spent traveling is the adventure, and the destination is simply the cherry on top.
The RV industry exploded during the pandemic because it provided a safe way to enjoy a vacation and get away from home. MARVAC Michigan RV & Campgrounds says currently more
Travel Opportunities And Options For Seniors Planning For
than nine million households own an RV in the United States. There’s no age limit to buying an RV, although the RV Industry Association says the average owner is 48-years-old and married.
RV-friendly campsites and parks enable travelers to mingle with each other, providing affordable and fun ways to travel.
Visiting family
Retirees may aspire to
spend more time with family members who do not live nearby. Families may want to consider mother-daughter residences or properties with small guest houses so that seniors can stay in the residences when visiting, but also have some privacy at the same time.
Seniors have many travel options, and retirement is the ideal time to get out and enjoy time away from home.
What People Can Do To Prevent Stroke
Stroke has been described as a “brain attack.” Stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain becomes
blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain breaks, which can damage or kill brain cells. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion says stroke is a leading cause of death and long-term disability in adults. It also can cause irreversible damage to the brain.
Young H EART
Individuals who experience stroke may end up with memory problems or experience difficulty thinking or forming words. Mobility issues like difficulty walking and weakness may occur. Some individuals also may experience incontinence and other issues resulting from neurological damage.
Although stroke can come out of the blue and is not always preventable, there are several steps people can take to help reduce their risk for stroke.
• Reduce blood pressure numbers. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a significant risk factor for stroke, says Harvard Health. Doctors may advise patients to work to lower blood pressure to between 140/90 to 120/80.
• Work to lower BMI. Overweight or obesity increases risk for stroke, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Losing weight and maintaining a health body mass index can help lower stroke risk.
• Exercise more often. Routine physical activity
can not only help a person lose weight, but also lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels — all of which are risk factors for stroke. The U.S. Surgeon General recommends individuals get a minimum of two hours and 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.
• Get a cholesterol check. High cholesterol can increase risk of stroke, which makes routine cholesterol checks important. The Office for the Assistant Secretary of Health says people should get their cholesterol checked at least every four to six years, with some needing to get it checked more frequently.
• Drink only in moderation. Alcohol can increase
risk of high blood pressure. Individuals should reduce their alcohol intake, with one drink or less for women and two drinks or less for men per day.
• Know your family health history. Knowing one’s family health history may illustrate a risk for genetic health conditions that can make a person more likely to experience stroke.
• Treat heart disease. Do not delay medical treatment for heart disease. Heart conditions like coronary artery disease or atrial fibrillation should be addressed promptly to prevent stroke.
Stroke is a serious medical condition that can leave a person debilitated. That is why it is key to reduce risk of stroke throughout one’s life.

Whether you are a family caregiver, friend, or professional, this presentation will offer valuable insights into managing the challenges of caregiving and maintaining your own well-being.
Great PartTime Jobs
For Retirees
Many adults nearing retirement age count down the days until they can bid adieu to the daily tasks of commuting and working so they can enjoy much more time for recreation, travel or whatever is they aspire to do.
As enticing as unending free time may seem, some retirees find it is not ideal to be entirely free from the responsibility of working. As current seniors can attest, inflation can drive up the costs of living, meaning that seniors who were once able to afford a certain retirement lifestyle may no longer enjoy that hard-earned luxury.
Others may miss the daily opportunities to socialize that working provides, or the way problem-solving on the job stimulates the brain. But even retirees who miss working may not be ready to return to the workforce fulltime. That can make parttime employment an ideal fit for mature workers.
Here’s a look at some parttime positions that could be a good fit for older adults reentering the workforce.

able and having good customer service skills are necessary traits to have when working in retail. Many stores offer part-time employees flexible hours so schedules can be customized.
Consultant
Retirees who loved their job but wanted to spend less time doing it can return as consultants. According to The Balance: Money, individuals often find they earn more per hour working as consultants than they did as full-time staff members. Consulting is a way to share expertise and experience without making a full-time commitment.
Customer Service Representative
A customer service repre-
sentative is tasked with helping customers solve problems and ensuring customer satisfaction. He or she may work ain a traditional office or store location, or answer calls and resolve issues from home.
School Positions
Retirees may want to consider jobs working in schools or in related capacities. Driving a school bus is an option if people are willing to undergo the proper training and licensing to operate this type of vehicle. Seniors also may consider working as lunchroom aides or lunch service providers, crossing guards, substitute teachers, and paraprofessionals. School employees will only work a few hours during the
Receptionist
day. They’ll also enjoy many holidays off as well as summer vacations.
Receptionists greet patients or customers in office settings. According to AARP, they are the welcoming faces of organizations. Answering phones and light clerical work also may be re-
quired of receptionists. Those who want to work offpeak hours can think about working nights and weekends in hospitals or skilled nursing facilities.
Seniors have many different options if they decide they want to return to the workforce in a part-time capacity.

Travel Perks And Discounts For Seniors
Having made it to their golden years, seniors enjoy not only the privilege of earned wisdom, but also a few perks that come with aging. Many adults who have reached a certain age are entitled to an array of discounts, which take into consideration seniors’ fixed retirement incomes. Discounts are available on various services, including many travel options.
Seniors have a lot of time to devote to recreational pursuits. This list of available travel discounts can help seniors get the most bang for their vacation bucks.
Airline Tickets
Before booking a flight, it is worth investigating if a particular airline carrier offers senior discounts. Some airlines offer various discounts for people ages 65 and older.
Ground Travel
Flying isn’t the only mode
of travel available. AARP partners with various car rental companies to offer senior discounts. Seniors also may be entitled to dis-
counts on bus and train tickets. Seniors who live in metropolitan areas also may get reduced fares on public buses and trains through providers local transportation authorities.
online booking agency/deal site to be eligible for discounts.
Dining Out
Accommodations
Getting there is one thing, but seniors also can receive discounts on hotel stays or cruise cabins. AARP reports that many major hotel and motel chains offer senior discounts between 5 and 15 percent. Some cruise lines offer senior discounts on select sailings and stateroom categories. Smarter Travel notes that most chains require travelers to book directly rather than through an
Many restaurants, and national chains in particular, offer senior discounts with or without AARP membership, providing percentage discounts or special senior pricing.
Tours And More Seniors also can speak with travel agents or booking services about discounts on sightseeing tours and other vacation excursions. One of the perks of getting older is the chance to save money on travel-related services.
How To Break Into Consulting
Many older adults choose to trade in the regular hours of 9 to 5 when they retire to delve into a much more personally guided passion: consulting.
Generally speaking, consulting is a term loosely given to providing business advice and sharing expertise without working directly for a company. Consultants lend their knowledge for problem-solving to guide companies on topics such as marketing, operational improvement and staffing, according to My Consulting Offer.
Consultants do not often work for the company they are assisting, but may be brought in on a contractual basis for a set period of time.
The Balance: Money advises that consultants typically can earn more per hour as consultants than they would if they were staff members.
Consulting may attract seniors considering retirement because of the flexibility it provides. Retirees unsure about how to get started in the field of consulting can consider this rundown of what it takes to pursue this option.
Knowledge Of Key Concepts
Consultants provide guidance in any number of areas, but skills in these disciplines are highly desirable:
• data analysis
• management
• project management
• reporting • ethics
• human resources/hiring
• finance and economics
• public relations and marketing
Work Your Network
Getting started in consulting may just be a matter of picking up where you left off . Reach out to past employers who benefitted from your work to see if they may be in need of consulting services. Even if there aren’t any opportunities there, former employers may put you in touch with other businesses who are in need of your services. Also speak with friends and other acquaintances to see if they may be able to help you find the right consulting opportunity.
Get Certified
While certification and extensive education, including master’s degrees, may not be needed to get into consulting, they can set you apart from others. Explore industry-specific certification, certified management consulting certification or project management consulting certification to refresh your skills. These certifications also may show employers that you are committed to consulting.
Polish Up Your Résumé
Consultants are billed as experts in their fields or areas of concentration. Make sure your résumé points to concrete examples of positive client outcomes and use it to emphasize your prior successes.
Expect To Be A Problem-Solver
Consulting requires figuring out what is missing and filling that void. That means staying on top of your industry and determining which solutions will fix specific problems the industry may be facing.
Consulting may be the next path for retirees who are looking for a flexible way to get back into the workforce.
