Alice (Stiteler) Heberling, 101, of Home, PA passed away on Wednesday April 15, 2026 at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, with whom she lived since 2021.
She was born March 21, 1925, daughter of the late Clay and Josephine (Kinter) Stiteler. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death in 2020 by her husband of 71 years, Walter Heberling, two brothers Fred and Wayne Stiteler and beloved nephew Allen Lee Stiteler.
Alice was a 70-year member of Old Mahoning Baptist Church where she faithfully served the Lord in various capacities. During WW II she worked in a defense plant in Buffalo, NY and later became a homemaker and mother. She enjoyed playing Scrabble and in her earlier years playing the piano, guitar and singing. Affectionately known as “Mum Mum”, her greatest joy was spending time with her treasured children and grandchildren. Her life was a living testament to her love of God and devotion to her family.
Left to cherish her memory are daughters, Joan (Ken) Park, Creekside; Patty (Steve) Martin, Lititz; grandchildren Greg (Christi) Park, and children Denton, Kayden and Grace; Bryan (Heather) Park and son Gage; Lisa (Chris) Casey and daughters Chelsey and Camryn; Ashley (Benji) Davis and children Matthias, Thea, Luke and expected daughter Elizabeth. Also surviving are special nephew Lyle (Cathy) Stiteler, niece Jeanne Sparks and dear friend Rita Wolfe.
Alice will forever remain in our hearts and will always be remembered for her nurturing disposition, sweet smile, loving heart and her special talent of turning a word or phrase into a song.
