Ralph Eugene Rothenberger

Ralph Eugene Rothenberger, 91, of Boyertown, passed away peacefully at the Heritage of Green Hills in Shillington, surrounded by the love of his family. Born September 10, 1934, in Oley, he was the son of the late Charles and Ellie (Reinert) Rothenberger.

Ralph lived a life marked by quiet strength and a steadfast spirit. He was deeply devoted to his family and took great pride in his work. A Christian believer, he found comfort and guidance in his faith throughout his life.

For 59 wonderful years, Ralph shared a loving marriage with his beloved wife, Susan (Gehman) Rothenberger. Together they built a life centered on love, commitment, and partnership.

Professionally, Ralph was respected for his work as a draftsman and engineering manager. He began his career at Tung Sol in Boyertown, and was a dedicated employee at that location for 45 years until he retired from Federal Mogul. He brought intelligence, precision, and integrity to every project and earned the admiration of his colleagues through his strong work ethic.

Ralph was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where he found fellowship and a sense of community, especially singing in the church choir. He was known for his kindness, humility, and peaceful presence.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Susan, his family, friends, and church community. In addition to his wife, Ralph is survived by his children James A. Rothenberger, husband of Kathy (Brodman) Rothenberger, and Pamela S. Brown, wife of Steven M. Brown. He is also survived by his grandchildren Elyse Rothenberger, wife of Nathan McKeever, Daniel Brown, David Brown, Jacob Brown, James Rothenberger, and Jared Rothenberger, along with his great-grandchild Georgia Mae McKeever.
