Connie S. Moyer

Connie S. Moyer, a long-time resident of Sellersville, formerly of Perkasie, passed away at her residence on Sunday, December 24, 2023, after a valiant years-long battle with cancer. She was 69.

Born in Sellersville and raised in Perkasie, she was the daughter of the late Earl A. and Marian (Charles) Strouse. Connie was a 1971 graduate of Pennridge High School.

Employed after her graduation at the former U. S. Gauge Division, Ametek, Inc., Sellersville, Connie would later work as a bookkeeper in the Sellersville Borough office, retiring in 2017 after several decades of loyal service to the community.

Connie was a long-time member of St. Michael’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sellersville, where she had volunteered with the Altar Guild and played in the Bell Choir.

Always civic-minded, Connie had volunteered with the Pennridge FISH Food Pantry, the Pennridge Community Center, and the Nase-Kraft Post 255 American Legion Auxiliary, Sellersville. For several years, she had also served as secretary to the Sellersville Church and Cemetery Corporation.

Connie loved listening to music, dancing, and Zumba, as well as playing Christmas carols on her organ and spinet piano. Never one to sit still, she was often busy tackling small home improvement projects for herself and others, utilizing her unquestioned skills with a paintbrush and mitre box. A skilled seamstress, she enjoyed making Halloween costumes for her children and granddaughters. And her extraordinary apple pies had no equal.

A determined, hard-working woman of forthright opinions and independent spirit, Connie had recently joined the battle to protest for reproductive rights. Her genuine, kind nature was evidenced by her selfless efforts in reaching out with frequent phone calls and visits to shut-in members of her church and community.

Most importantly, her greatest joy was being a devoted Grammy to her two granddaughters, whom she loved to take to the pool, out for a game of pitch and catch, or shopping for new shoes.

Connie is survived by her children: Philip, of Sellersville, and Rhonda, of Philadelphia; two granddaughters: Marian and Juliette Wagner, both of Philadelphia; her partner, Craig Wilhelm, of Sellersville; and her sister, Linda Godshall, of Perkasie.

Her memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, January 5, in St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, 25 East Church Street, Sellersville, PA 18960, where a visitation will be held from 10 a.m. until time of service.

Interment in Kellers Church Union Cemetery, Perkasie will follow the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Connie’s name may be made to St. Michael’s Lutheran Church at the address above or to Pennridge FISH, P.O. Box 9, Perkasie, PA 18944 or online at www.pennridgefish.org.
