Daniel W. Ludwig, passed away on May 9, 2026, at his residence surrounded by his family. He was born on July 24, 1950, in Danville, a son of the late George and Marie (Shoemaker) Ludwig. Dan was a kind and generous man whose presence brought comfort, laughter, and steadiness to those around him.

Dan graduated from Millville High School with the class of 1970 and soon after answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Army. During his military service, he worked on the Nike Missile Base in Germany. He was honorably discharged on June 1, 1979, completing his service with the same sense of responsibility that guided him throughout his life.

Following his military service, Dan built a long and respected career at Kawneer, where he worked as a welder before retiring. He was known as a dependable worker and a true jack of all trades, someone who could fix, build, or help with nearly anything that needed attention. His strong work ethic and practical skills were matched by a humble nature and a willingness to lend a hand whenever someone needed it.

Dan found joy in the simple and meaningful things in life. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, spending time farming, and tending to his garden. He liked watching old westerns and playing rummy cards, and he especially treasured time spent with his grandchildren. He had a special love for his beagle dogs and took great pleasure in being around them. Helping friends came naturally to him, and he was always ready to offer his time, his knowledge, or his support without hesitation.

He celebrated 50 years of marriage with his wife, the former Melinda Welliver, and their bond was a lasting example of love, loyalty, and companionship. He is survived by his wife, Melinda; his children, Shannon and his wife Cindy of Millville, and Danielle Ross and her husband James of New Columbia; and his four grandchildren, Ian, Caitlyn, Tommy, and Caleb, who brought him endless happiness. He also leaves behind his two sisters, Theresa Ludwig of Millville and Mary Kase of Millville, niece Elizabeth Auman, as well as his grandfur babies, Axle, Striker, and Cleo.

Gwen Griffith Bunnell, 93, passed away on April 13, 2026, holding the immense love, gratitude, respect and devotion of her family, and all who knew her.

Gwen Ivora was born in Glenside, Pa. to Carolyn Hobson Griffith and Dr. Ivor Griffith.

Gwen’s mother passed away when Gwen was three years old, and her father and then 18-year-old sister raised her with all the warmth and love one could ask for.

Gwen graduated from Cheltenham High School in Elkins Park, Pa. She loved her summers at Camp Redwing in New England where she was later a counselor who loved canoeing and swimming.

Gwen met Richard (Dick) Bunnell, who would love her with his whole heart for 68 years of marriage at Penn State University. Chi Omega sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity friends brought them together. They made the perfect pair, with a mutual love and marriage to be emulated. After graduation, Gwen taught in a one room schoolhouse in Augusta, Georgia while Dick was stationed in the Army there.

The rest of their married life, they lived in Boalsburg, PA where they raised their family. Gwen was very involved in the community through Girl Scouts, 4-H, teaching Sunday school, the Boalsburg Heritage Museum, Boalsburg Memorial Day and the Boalsburg Village Conservancy. She volunteered at Boogersburg School as a tour guide and speaker dressed in period clothes with her antique trunk filled with items from the past. The Boalsburg Garden Club brought her so much fun and friendship, and she served on the Grace Lutheran Church Council. Gwen enjoyed an antique business with Dick at Apple Hill Antiques for many years.

Hundreds of State College Area School District children were fortunate to have Gwen as their teacher. Most of her years were spent teaching kindergarten at Corl Street. She was a beloved teacher, creative and dedicated to her children, and a mentor to many of her colleagues. She was awarded the Maroon and Gray Society Honor in 2025 by the SCASD Education Foundation for her exemplary career.
Before working for the district, she founded Grace Lutheran Nursery School in partnership with her dear friend Linda Domin.

Gwen was very proud of her Welsh heritage and shared her love of Wales with her family. She enjoyed her trips to Wales with Dick, her sister and brother-in-law over the years. There was a little glimpse of Wales in almost every room in her home.

Gwen enjoyed her retirement years with Dick, with summers spent at their beloved Canada cottage and winters at their Florida home.

Her most endearing quality was her love of family. She was the mother and Nain (grandmother in Welsh) that all dream of having. Gwen shared her talents, love for life, and was always sure to let all of her loved ones know how special they were to her. It is impossible to put into words what she meant to so many. Gwen was a true lady who was loved forever for her warmth, sunny personality, and for being the life of the party. She had a green thumb, growing flowers, a full vegetable garden, and sunflowers taller than herself. She wrote poems, drew and painted. She loved to take long bike rides, and to walk for miles.

Gwen is survived by her daughter Carol and husband Stephen Grim, her son Theodore Ivor “Tib” Bunnell and wife Mary Fogle, her sister-in-law Nancy Bunnell Franks and husband Jay. Gwen will be missed by her grandchildren Erin Grim McCombie and husband Esch, Andrew Grim, David Grim and wife Amy, Taylor Bunnell, and Madison Bunnell. Her great-grandchildren who loved her dearly, William, Gwen and John McCombie, Millie Ivora and Ainsley Grim, Ashton, Bentley, Mila, Ava, Tristan, Haley and Jax Bunnell.


Gwen was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Doris and her husband Frederick Schiller, her brother and sister-in-law Theodore and Betty “Tish” Bunnell, step granddaughters Liza Kocher and Kayte Derhammer, step great-grandson Koleton Derhammer, and her nephews Robert Schiller and Rodger Bunnell.

We have lost someone precious, the person we all strive to be like. Our mother, our Nain, the heart of our family.

A private family service will be held at the convenience of the family through Grace Lutheran Church and Pastors Scott Schul and Carolyn Hetrick

In lieu of flowers, to honor Gwen’s passion for education, memorial donations may be made to: The SCASD ED Foundation, The Gwen and Richard Bunnell Fund, 240 Villa Crest Drive, State College, Pa 16801.

Marna Moss, 69, of Danville, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2026, surrounded by family and friends.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Marna devoted her life to caring for others. She earned her bachelor’s degree in health sciences from the University of Colorado, Greeley, and began her career in the medical field serving communities in Brooklyn and Staten Island. She worked as a nursing rehabilitation aide, later as a social worker, and ultimately fulfilled her calling as a registered nurse.

In 1991, Marna moved to Pennsylvania and joined Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, where she served as a critical care nurse on the open-heart unit. Fiercely devoted to her patients, she was known for her unwavering advocacy and willingness to speak up to ensure they received the best possible care. Her compassion and determination left a lasting mark on colleagues and patients alike.

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in her late thirties, Marna faced her illness with remarkable strength and deep religious faith. For more than 25 years, she continued to live a full and enriching life, never allowing her diagnosis to define her spirit. In her final years, as her MS progressed, she remained resilient and surrounded by love. She spent her last days in hospice care at Emmanuel Nursing Home in Danville, where she had resided for the past year.

Outside of her profession, Marna had a lifelong passion for rescuing and rehabilitating lost and abandoned dogs. She trained many to pass the Canine Good Citizen test and helped them become certified therapy dogs, bringing comfort and joy to countless individuals. She also founded a therapy dog program at the hospital where she worked and often brought her own beloved dogs to visit patients. Proudly and unapologetically “dog crazy,” Marna’s love for animals was matched only by her love for people.

In her final days, she was surrounded by family and friends, with others sharing heartfelt FaceTime conversations when they could not be present. Even then, her familiar joy and lovable sarcasm shone through — expressions her loved ones will forever cherish.

Marna is survived by her older sister, Enid, and her older brother, William.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on April 9 at 11:00 am at Saint Columba Catholic Church, 342 Iron Street, Bloomsburg with Father Richard Mowery officiating. Burial will follow at All Saints Cemetery. Family will receive friends from 10:00 am until time of service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society or to a local animal rescue/shelter in her memory.
