September 09, 2019
Terry W. Christofic, 70, of Lancaster, passed away on September 9, 2019 at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Altoona, PA, he was the son of the late Andrew C. and Betty M. (Hershberger) Christofic and the loving life partner of the late William H. Reilly.
Nursing was his passion in life. A Licensed Practical Nurse, Terry spent his life caring for others, which brought him joy. He served as a nurse at Conestoga View, Oak Leaf Manor South, where he also worked as a Director of Nursing, and Visiting Angels, where he was currently employed.
Terry was incredibly talented in all he did, especially art. He was always looking to learn new things, which lead him to get certifications in electrolysis and hair styling. An eye for style and decoration, Terry enjoyed redecorating his home and decorating for the holidays, especially Christmas. Terry loved cats and spoiled the cats that he had as pets and the cats that lived in his neighborhood. A spirited person, Terry was a true friend to those around him and he will be deeply missed by many.
Terry is survived by his long-time friend, Bethlynne Vanella of New Holland, his sisters; Judy Kepler, wife of Gary of James Creek, PA, Deborah Helt, wife of Roy of Elizabethtown, and Candance Aston, wife of John of Elizabethtown. He is also survived by his children Robert Christofic, Dawn Matheny, Sarah Roush, many grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He is preceded in death by his beloved life partner of 34 years, William H. Reilly, his parents, and his siblings; Ronald, James, and Nancy Christofic.
