    "HERNDON - Marion Anna (Romberger) Troutman, 75, of RR1 Herndon died Friday evening, May 13, 2005, in Klingerstown.
    "She was born Dec. 26, 1929, one mile west of Klingerstown, a daughter of the late Stanley C. and Verna Mae (Klinger) Romberger. Her mother was the daughter of the late Ellsworth Klinger and Ida C. Knorr. Her father was a well-known produce farmer and market peddler, specializing in onions, butter, eggs, chickens and calves. Marion helped with the picking and packing of the onions for market.
    "Marion attended Nobel School, which was next door to her home. It was at this young school age that she learned to speak English fluently, as the language of her home was Pennsylvania German. She was the third child of her family. She had five brothers, Quentin, who preceded her in death, Roland of RR1 Herndon, Lee of RR1 Dalmatia, Roy of Valatio, N.Y., and Mark of Valley View. She also had one sister, Barbara Koppenhaver of Fisherville.
    "Marion was a 1947 graduate of Lower Mahanoy Township High School in Dalmatia, where she was a basketball star, earning multiple varsity letters. She studied the commercial vocation.
    "Marion married Earl G. Troutman, the boy next door, as his residence was only a mile away from her home. They were married April 10, 1948, in Leck Kill at the Lutheran parsonage by the Rev. Blank.
    "Marion was actively involved in church activities. She was a member of St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Klingerstown, and served on supper committees, was a member of Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, and was involved in Sunday school activities as well as many other aspects of the church.

Holding meetings in the basement of her home, Marion arranged trips, badge projects, and cookouts for a large group of girls. She always loved to have the girls sit around her picnic tables and sing the song "Princess Pat."
    "Marion was a retired employee of Creative Play-Things in Herndon. She worked in the toy department, where wooden toys and rubber figure sets were made for school distribution. She was a group leader and often spoke of the local school girls who worked at the factory on their summer vacations. She taught them how to paint the toys.
    "Marion and Earl traveled extensively in Europe, developing friendships in Germany and Austria. Marion kept in contact with many of these acquaintances, writing letters and family updates.
    "She developed an active interest in family history, compiling several booklets pertaining to local history and genealogy. She was widely known and well respected regarding her knowledge of local family histories. She had a keen mind and a wonderful memory which aided her ability to recall events of yesteryear. She compiled family histories of all branches of her family tree, complete with photographs and historical narrative, which will be treasured by her children and grandchildren.
    "Marion is survived by her husband, Earl G. Troutman of RR1 Herndon; three children, Steve E. Troutman and his wife Joan E. (Masser) Troutman of 1442 Ridge Road, Klingerstown, Glenn L. Troutman and his wife Donna M. (Klinger) Troutman of 1201 Line St., Sunbury, and Ruby M. (Troutman) Michetti and her husband Joseph C.

    HERNDON - Marion Anna (Romberger) Troutman, 75, of RR1 Herndon died Friday evening, May 13, 2005, in Klingerstown.
    She was born Dec. 26, 1929, one mile west of Klingerstown, a daughter of the late Stanley C. and Verna Mae (Klinger) Romberger. Her mother was the daughter of the late Ellsworth Klinger and Ida C. Knorr. Her father was a well-known produce farmer and market peddler, specializing in onions, butter, eggs, chickens and calves. Marion helped with the picking and packing of the onions for market.
    Marion attended Nobel School, which was next door to her home. It was at this young school age that she learned to speak English fluently, as the language of her home was Pennsylvania German. She was the third child of her family. She had five brothers, Quentin, who preceded her in death, Roland of RR1 Herndon, Lee of RR1 Dalmatia, Roy of Valatio, N.Y., and Mark of Valley View. She also had one sister, Barbara Koppenhaver of Fisherville.
    Marion was a 1947 graduate of Lower Mahanoy Township High School in Dalmatia, where she was a basketball star, earning multiple varsity letters. She studied the commercial vocation.
    Marion married Earl G. Troutman, the boy next door, as his residence was only a mile away from her home. They were married April 10, 1948, in Leck Kill at the Lutheran parsonage by the Rev. Blank.
    Marion was actively involved in church activities. She was a member of St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Klingerstown, and served on supper committees, was a member of Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, and was involved in Sunday school activities as well as many other aspects of the church.
    Marion was a member of Glen Chapter No. 425, Order of the Eastern Star, Lykens. In addition, she served as a leader of the Mahantongo Valley Girl Scouts, Troop No. 71, for several years. Holding meetings in the basement of her home, Marion arranged trips, badge projects, and cookouts for a large group of girls. She always loved to have the girls sit around her picnic tables and sing the song "Princess Pat."
    Marion was a retired employee of Creative Play-Things in Herndon. She worked in the toy department, where wooden toys and rubber figure sets were made for school distribution. She was a group leader and often spoke of the local school girls who worked at the factory on their summer vacations. She taught them how to paint the toys.
    Marion and Earl traveled extensively in Europe, developing friendships in Germany and Austria. Marion kept in contact with many of these acquaintances, writing letters and family updates.
    She developed an active interest in family history, compiling several booklets pertaining to local history and genealogy. She was widely known and well respected regarding her knowledge of local family histories. She had a keen mind and a wonderful memory which aided her ability to recall events of yesteryear. She compiled family histories of all branches of her family tree, complete with photographs and historical narrative, which will be treasured by her children and grandchildren.
    Marion is survived by her husband, Earl G. Troutman of RR1 Herndon; three children, Steve E. Troutman and his wife Joan E. (Masser) Troutman of 1442 Ridge Road, Klingerstown, Glenn L. Troutman and his wife Donna M. (Klinger) Troutman of 1201 Line St., Sunbury, and Ruby M. (Troutman) Michetti and her husband Joseph C.
