Arfie Marie (Kerstetter) Willier, 87, of Ephrata formerly of Leola, PA went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Monday, January 13, 2025.
Born in West Cameron, PA, Arfie lived a life full of love, kindness, and devotion to those she held dear. She was the cherished wife of Reverend Bruce H. Willier, her partner of 66 years, and a beloved mother to Lynne Anne (Willier) Reph and Bruce Robert Willier. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering support shaped the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Arfie was a devoted pastor’s wife and walked faithfully with the Lord. Her heart was generous, and her presence brought comfort and peace.
She is survived by her husband, Bruce H. Willier, children, Lynne Reph (Keith) and Bruce R. Willier (Barb), and a sister, Laura (Kerstetter) Howerter (Warren). She was preceded in death by her parents, Rena M. (Weikel) Kerstetter and Ray E. Kerstetter, a brother, Robert Kerstetter, and an infant daughter, Melissa Lynne Willier.
Above all, Arfie treasured her family. She was a devoted grandmother of five; Jason Reph, Zachary Reph (Lanae), Alyssa (Reph) Eisenhart (Scott), Travis Willier, Allison (Willier) Hill (Ryan), who brought her endless pride and joy. Her legacy of love will live on through the countless memories she created with her family and friends.
Arfie will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her love, compassion, and spirit will live on in all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A private graveside service will be held exclusively for immediate family.
