Edna Mae Sauers Lentz went to be with her Lord on November 26, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Edna was predeceased by her husband Pastor Glen Lentz in 1989.
Born on October 29, 1929 in Brush Valley, PA she was the daughter of the late William Sauers and Myrtle Wadsworth Sauers.
Edna was a pastor’s wife and homemaker who enjoyed gardening, shopping, cooking, sewing and any type of hospitality. Her door was always open!
As a young woman, she worked at the Henry Hall Office Supply store in Indiana, PA. She later worked at A&P grocery store, where she met her future husband, Glen Lentz, a widower with 3 sons. Edna and Glen married on August 18, 1956, and 9 years later welcomed their daughter Tracy into the family.
In her early years as a pastor’s wife, she was a Sunday School superintendent, teacher, VBS director, and choir director. She visited other countries on mission trips, with Haiti being her most memorable one. She also hosted many foreign and domestic missionaries and evangelists in her home over the years.
Later, she worked many years at The Pantry at the Indiana County General Hospital. She remained active in her church as part of the visitation ministry to shut-ins, the prayer and encouragement ministry, and the choir ministry.
In 2020, she moved to Honey Brook, PA, with her son and daughter-in-law. She enjoyed playing games with the family and going to the many shows in which her great-grandchildren were involved.
Edna is survived by her son Donald G. (Sandra) Lentz (Honey Brook, PA), daughter Tracy Scott (Mauldin, SC), 9 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and several great-great grandchildren.
