Pauline M. (Miller) Frey, 82, of Millersville, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at her home. Wife of the late Jay V. Frey, she was a long-time resident of Manor Township. Pauline and Jay had celebrated thirty-five years of marriage at the time of his death in 1987.
Born June 26, 1933, in Rapho Twp., she was the daughter of the late Martin K. and Pauline (Musser) Miller of Mount Joy. She was an alumna of East Donegal High School, Class of 1951, and a member of Faith Bible Fellowship Church, Lancaster.
Pauline was devoted to her family and poured out her life in love and service to others. Her heart's desire was that everyone she knew would come to know Jesus Christ and follow Him.
It was her great joy to play piano and sing praises to God. As a young girl she began singing trio with her sisters -- a practice that continued her whole life. When she and her husband Jay were raising children, the Frey Family was frequently invited to sing in local churches. Through the years Pauline played piano for congregational singing at Central Manor Church of God, LCBC, Lancaster Fellowship, and most recently at Faith Bible Fellowship. Her ministry of music also took her on a regular circuit of rest homes in the area.
In earlier years Pauline and her husband loved traveling to foreign and domestic destinations, enjoying vacations in Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Antigua, Hawaii, and across the U.S., as well as mission trips to Haiti.
Pauline was a corporation member at Lancaster Bible College from 1987 to 2010. She received the Lydia Award in 1994 for her commitment to the ministry ofLBC.
Pauline enjoyed cooking, planting flowers, and making intricate cross-stitch samplers for the births and weddings of her many grandchildren. Truly her children "arise and call her blessed... and honor her for all that her hands have done" (Proverbs 31:28a, 31a).
She will be dearly missed by her four children: J. Thomas Frey married to Susan, of Conestoga; J. Clifton Frey married to Heidi, of Washington Boro; Rita F. married to Lee B. Simmons and Cena F. married to Daryl Nauman, all of Millersville; sixteen grandchildren; twenty great-grandchildren; and three siblings: Hazel, married to Lester Hawthorne, of Elizabethtown; Jean Lichty, of Lititz; and Robert Miller, married to Shirley, of Maryland. She was also preceded in death by two grandchildren.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Pauline's Celebration of Life Funeral Service to be held at Faith Bible Fellowship Church, 151 DonervilleRoad, Lancaster, PA 17603 on Tuesday afternoon, April 12, 2016 at 2:30PM.
