Mildred R. Mellott

Mildred “Mid” Mellott was born on May 14, 1940, to John S. and Mary E. (Barnes) Mellott, at her beloved home in Fort Loudon, PA. She passed away on 2/14/2026, at age 85, with family by her side, at the Brookview Health Center in Chambersburg. She previously lived at Chambers Pointe Menno Haven and in Greencastle, PA.

Mid was a hard-working multi-talented individual. While she was kind and thoughtful to everyone, she wrote that her greatest love was her nieces and nephews. There is a quote that says, “Children need at least one person in their life who thinks the sun rises and sets on them, who delights in their existence and loves them unconditionally.” Mid was that person for many ofher nieces and nephews, whom she treasured and nurtured as if they were her own children and grandchildren. Mid always made time for the children in her life. She loved to read with and tell stories to them until they fell asleep at night. Summers were filled with trips, camp outs, ball playing, croquet, badminton, fishing and more. She always made sure the children had some spending money and suntan lotion for trips to the beach. Fall meant a back to school shopping trip, where she made sure they had the appropriate clothes for various occasions. She used her skills as a seamstress to make clothes and costumes for the children. Winter was spent making holidays special, attending school events, helping with homework, and having snowy adventures. Spring was a time for new clothes, cleaning off the balcony, and egg dying. At any time of the year, you would find the children exploring Mid’s possessions; nothing was off limits. Mid understood that hands-on experiences were necessary for learning, so you would find them cooking, baking, sewing, crafting, writing, drawing, and painting together. Mid was an exceptional teacher whose techniques, and recipes are still used by family members today. Mid not only taught the children in her family, she also learned from them. As the children grew, Mid eagerly learned dendrology, foreign languages, Legos, music, biology, electronic games, computers, iPads and more.

After graduating from James Buchanan High school in 1958, Mid had a 39 year career and was known as an exceptional presser at J. Schoeneman (Stanley). Later, working as a custodian at Greencastle-Antrim School District, where she made friends with many teachers and staff. She enjoyed volunteering in the Greencastle Head Start classrooms.

Mid is survived by her sisters, Evangeline E. Witmer and Laverne (Carson) Hill, both of Chambersburg; a stepsister, Ninette (Gary) LeGates of Westminster, MD; her niece, Virginia White and nephew Donald G. “Buck” (Deborah Kay) Witmer, Jr., both of Greencastle; grandnephews, Robert K. (Xiaohong) Witmer of Wynnewood, PA, Carson L. Hill II of Chambersburg, Scott D. White, Craig A. White, and William White, Jr., all of Greencastle; grandnieces, Larissa K. Witmer of Greensboro, NC, Alisha (Bill) Simon of Boalsburg, PA, Yvette S. Hill of Fort Loudon; great-grand nephews Charles E. Witmer and Andrew “Marty” Witmer of Wynnewood PA and Nathanael Simon of Boalsburg, PA, and great-grand niece, Lydia Simon of Boalsburg, PA.

The family wants to acknowledge and thank the many amazing staff at Menno Haven who have cared for her, loved her and made her life better.

Graveside services will be held at a later date. There will be no viewing. Mid would be honored if you remember her by spending extra quality time with the children in your life and by speaking up for children who are being mistreated. She has requested no flowers, but donations can be made to organizations that serve and protect children from child abuse.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Harold M. Zimmerman and Son Funeral Home, Inc., Greencastle, PA. Online condolences may be offered on her page at www.zimmermanfh.com.

Marian Kay Mills

Marian Kay (French) Mills, age 80, formerly of New Cumberland, PA and Greencastle, PA, passed away at Cross Keys Village-The Brethren Home Community, New Oxford, PA on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, after an 8-year battle with multiple myeloma.

Marian was born in Chambersburg, PA on November 24, 1945, the daughter of D. Dale and Pearl Unger French.

She attended Rising Sun, a one-room school in "Bino" for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. She walked the half mile to school through all kinds of weather and then was bused to Mercersburg Elementary School for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.

After graduating with the class of 1963 from Greencastle-Antrim High School, she entered nurse's training at Reading Hospital School of Nursing, although she had always dreamed of a career as a secretary. After finishing two years of the nursing program and realizing that nursing wasn't the career for her, she left and enrolled in the secretarial course at the Waynesboro Business School.

Declining offers of several positions from companies in and around her hometown, she moved to Harrisburg to take a job as the secretary to a high-ranking official in the Department of Public Instruction (now the Department of Education). After two and one-half years, she left that job to work in the PA House of Representatives where she remained for 38 years, serving as secretary and administrative assistant to various Republican Representatives, most of whom were from Montgomery and Chester Counties. She considered it a special honor to work in the beautiful State Capitol.

Marian was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, James E. Mills, by her parents and by two brothers, Edgar L. St. Clair and David D. French, Jr.: by her Uncle Russell L. French; and by her Aunts Hilda French Kelly, Mabel Unger Ludwig, and Olive Unger Heinbaugh; and by her beloved cats Tom, Toby, Melanie, Mandy, Chinook, Mystery, Madison, Demelza, Shiloh, Kedryn, Dana, Ezra Keith, and Ben.

Surviving her are several cousins and nieces.

After she rescued Madison from the grounds of the Capitol in 1999 with the help of volunteers from PAWS of PA, Inc., Marian began to volunteer for PAWS as a fundraiser. She used her sewing skills to make assorted catnip toys and fleece pet beds and blankets and other pet-themed household items which she and Jim sold at craft shows in the Harrisburg area. Over the years, she raised thousands of dollars for PAWS to assist the organization in its efforts to address the cat overpopulation problem in southcentral Pennsylvania. When she and Jim could no longer participate in craft shows, she continued to sew as long as she could and found other outlets for the items she made.

Marian had a stunning garden of irises and a variety of unusual perennials at her New Cumberland home, which she tended meticulously and shared with great pleasure.

Besides gardening, the thing Marian enjoyed more than anything else was playing cards, especially 500 bid, at which she excelled. She and Jim spent many happy hours playing the game with the Heinbaughs and her father. If plans had been made to "have a game" with the Heinbaughs in Hagerstown, nothing stood in the way of Jim, Marian, and Dale being there, not even a blizzard-like snowstorm. Those happy times ended after her father and Emmert Heinbaugh passed away in 1984 and 1985 respectively. She and Jim were able to play again for a short time at Cross Keys Village.

Marian had been a member of the former Trinity United Methodist Church of New Cumberland.

Following cremation, Marian's ashes will be placed into a niche overlooking the graves of her parents and brother, David, in Parklawns Memorial Gardens, Chambersburg. There will be no services.

Donations in Marian's memory may be made to Forever Love Rescue, 39 Queen St., Gettysburg, PA 17325 or to any other animal rescue organization. Her greatest wish was that everyone will spay and neuter their pets.

Professional services have been entrusted to Harold M. Zimmerman and Son Funeral Home, Greencastle, PA.
