Obituary

Rosella (Ryer) Kreidler, 92, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at The Residence at Fitz Farm. Born in Dallastown on November 18, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Jacob and Barbara (Steinfelt) Ryer and the beloved wife of the late Carlton "Sparky" Kreidler.

A 1950 graduate of York Catholic High School, Rosella carried her deep faith, quiet strength, and unwavering love for her family throughout her life. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose gentle spirit and warm heart touched all who knew her.

Rosella was a lifelong member of St. Joseph Church in Dallastown, where she found joy and purpose in service and fellowship. She was deeply involved in many church activities, including the Pacesetters, the Catholic Women's Group, prayer group, and book club. Her most cherished role was serving as a Eucharistic Minister to the sick, bringing comfort and care to others in their time of need.

She is survived by her loving children, Randy M. Kreidler and his wife, Valerie of Red Lion, and Suzanne K. Posey and her husband, Daniel of Red Lion. Her legacy continues through her four grandchildren: Tracy M. Kreidler of San Antonio, TX; Amanda S. Koppenhaver and her husband, Mark of Wrightsville; Sean J. Posey and his wife, Sheena of Red Lion; and Monica R. Posey of Dallastown. She is also survived by four great-grandchildren: Audrey and Andrew Koppenhaver, and Avery and Aiden Posey. Rosella is further survived by her sister, Helen Pigg of Maryland, and her brother, Robert Ryer of Red Lion.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings: John, Paul, and Albert Ryer, and sisters Mary O'Keefe and Loretta Raffensberger.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at St. Joseph Church, 251 E. Main St., Dallastown, PA 17313. A visitation will be held at the church beginning at 10:00 AM until the time of Mass. Burial will follow at Susquehanna Memorial Gardens.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff of the memory care unit at The Residence at Fitz Farm for the compassionate care they provided.
