As the first hint of spring is in the air, we
are reminded of the turn of seasons. It is
with a heavy heart that we bring news of the
passing of two individuals who quietly
supported our communities' revitalization.
Pat Halteman was an inspiration to the
Design Committee with her love of beautiful
flowers. Many people did not know that Pat
took it as her personal mission to assure
that the gateway near the clock and the
intersection of Main and Broad Streets were
always vibrant with color.
Long before the Main Street program started
in Souderton and Telford, Pat epitomized the
spirit of Main Street volunteerism. She spent
countless hours planting, pruning and caring
for the flowers that added beauty and color
to downtown Souderton.
Pat was an employee of Univest for many years
when she began to care for the flower beds.
Long after she retired, Pat cared for the
flowers that so many of us enjoyed on our
daily commutes through town.
Pat passed away this week after an extended
illness. The viewing at Calvary Church, Route
113 in Souderton, will be held on Thursday
from 9 am to 11 am with
the funeral service held at 11 am.
Our deepest sympathy to Pat Halteman's family
and friends.
