Obituary of Marianne Yourth

On July 12, 2009, God's angels descended from the heavens and wrapped their gentle wings around Marianne Yourth of Bethlehem Township, and delivered her beyond heaven's door, first to the Rainbow Bridge, where all of her beloved pets, both domestic and wild, have been waiting so long to renew their love with her. She was then reunited with her husband, Harry, who predeceased her by 4 years and to whom she was married for 61 years, at the time of his death. Many other dear & predeceased friends were there to welcome her also. Marianne was 92 years old, born on April 8, 1917 in Newark, NJ to Frank and Edith Schambach.
