Obituary for Lena E. Pandel (Mumaw)



Lena E. Pandel, 88, formerly of Fairview Place, Lewistown, passed away on Friday, July 1, 2016 at the Golden Living Center, Lewistown.

Lena was born June 20, 1928, in Virginia, the daughter of the late Romanus F. and Anna J. (Litten) Mumaw. She was raised by her late Uncle Lemuel “Lem” and Aunt Clair Litten of Virginia. She resided in Edinburg, Virginia, until meeting her husband, Louis and moving to Lewistown, PA.

Lena was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, J. Louis Pandel, Sr., on June 29, 2013.

Surviving are two sons, John L. Pandel, Jr. and wife, Candy of Lewistown and Roger N. Pandel and wife, Carol of New Tripoli; four grandchildren, Kevin, Laura and twins, Michael and Christine all of New Tripoli.

She was preceded in death by four sisters, two brothers and one half-brother all of Virginia.

Lena enjoyed traveling with Louis throughout the United States and various countries.

Earlier in life she was employed as a waitress at Nittany Lion Inn, State College, the Peppermill Inn, Reedsville and the “Arena” at Green Gables, Lewistown. Lena also had worked as a hostess at the Holiday Inn, Burnham.

Later in life, she would help Louis at the Pandel Insurance Agency, Burnham.

Lena enjoyed cooking holiday meals for her family, going to Belleville for blueberries and strawberries from the Amish, shopping at Peight’s Country Store and tending to her vegetable garden.

Lena loved telling people the story of having to hide the key to the freezer so “Louis” could not raid the “ice cream” in the middle of the night.

Lena was a member of Grace United Methodist Church in Lewistown.

Mrs. Pandel’s wishes were to have private services.

Barr Funeral Home, Inc. and Crematory is in charge of arrangements.
