Myrtle Rosenberger
June 28, 1927 ~ May 18, 2024
Born in: Baxter, Tennessee
Myrtle Rosenberger, 96, of Titusville, passed away on May 18, 2024 at Sugar Creek Station in Franklin with her daughter by her side.
Love is the word that best describes the person Myrtle was. Her immediate family included her husband, Arthur, now deceased; her daughter Karen McCain, her son-in-law, Ben McCain, and her precious granddaughter, Carrie.
She displayed love, kindness, and respect every day of her life not only to family but to anyone she met. Bashful by nature, Myrtle was content to spend time taking care of her family, worshiping her God Jehovah, working in her garden and tending to her home. We, her surviving family, will miss her more than words can express. The love she extended to us was something we could rely and depend on. Myrtle’s final ability to express herself came with the words “I love you today, tomorrow and forever”.
The quiet strength she had always gave us strength too. There will be an empty spot in our hearts now. There will be a longing to have mom still with us. Our hearts ache for just one more hug and one more smile from her. Dementia robbed her of her memories but it never took away her capacity for showing kindness and love.
By example and patience, Myrtle taught her family to always look for the good in people.
Myrtle was raised in Tennessee by her parents Carrie and Jess Mahan and enjoyed her family of nine siblings. Myrtle came to Pennsylvania at age 18 and made her home in Titusville with her husband, Arthur, starting at age 20. They had 73 years together before Arthur died on September 11, 2020.
She is survived by two siblings, twin sisters Ruby Wheeler and Reba Haney and their respective families who reside in Tennessee. She was preceded in death by 4 sisters and 3 brothers. Her siblings provided Myrtle with a large extended family.
Myrtle was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Titusville congregation. Her faith and devotion were fine examples to all she met. As our mom sleeps in death awaiting the next phase of a better life, we – her family- will honor and love Myrtle as she loved us – with a whole heart. When there were no more words, there was still love. Myrtle completed this part of life’s journey with grace, dignity and above all else, there was love.
In following with Myrtle’s wishes, no public services will be observed. Arrangements for Myrtle are under the care of the Gardinier-Warren Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 1315 Chestnut Street, Franklin.

My dearest condolences to my aunt Myrtle. She truly was my favorite aunt who lovingly thought me how to love others and show this in action teaching them about our loving God Jehovah. She was and will always be my mentor in showing loving kindness to others. She followed Bible principles and showed this by her actions. I remember her stopping by occasionally to give my mother, her sister cans of food from her garden. She also studied the Bible with my two brothers Jerry and Bobby when I was only 10. Then with me again age 24 when I asked her for a study because I was having problem in my marriage. It was the key at that time to rekindle our marriage. I long to meet her again as Jesus pointed out in the Bible that there will be a resurrection for his faithful followers. My heartfelt condolences to the family and all who knew her. Buy aunt Myrtle until we meet again. Your nephew James Rodgers
