She will always be remembered as a loving mother, friend, grandmother, and great-grandmother to all that knew and loved her. She was born on February 14th, 1930 in Ono, Pennsylvania to Jacob and Alma Gerhart. Annabel grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania with her younger brother, Sonny. She worked as a tour guide at the Hershey chocolate factory.
Annabel was married to Raymond Wentling, who affectionately called her Annie, for 61 years. Her passion was her family. She loved interior design, sewing, cake decorating, and floral design. Her grandchildren lovingly remember her as being fancy and could always count on fresh baked cookies in the cookie jar. She enjoyed being outdoor and working in her yard. She and Ray loved to travel but she was always happiest to come back to her home and family.
