Myrna (Schoenberger) Selcher

Myrna (Schoenberger) Selcher, 80, of Mount Joy, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, at the Hershey Medical Center. Born February 19, 1942 as Myrna Gonzales, she was the beloved daughter of the late Dina (Santillan-Gonzales) Schoenberger and late William G. Schoenberger, Sr. She is survived by her loving husband, Wayne A. Selcher.

Named after the movie star Myrna Loy, she lived up to her name as a timeless beauty. Born in the Philippine Islands in the city of Manila, she lived on Clark Air Force Base until her father transferred to Olmsted Air Force Base, Middletown, PA in 1959. Graduating from Elizabethtown Area High School in 1960, she attended Elizabethtown College until marrying Robert R. Heisey, father of her two sons. While raising her boys, Myrna graduated from Penn State, becoming a Nittany Lions football fan. In 1993, she married Donald Darr and was his devoted wife until his death in 2018. Starting at White Shield, her career path took her to Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Columbia Hospital, and Harrisburg Hospital, eventually retiring from Nationwide Insurance. Myrna enjoyed music, being a band mom, dancing and participating in the Fil-American Folk Dancers of South Central Lancaster. Her love of travel took her around North America, Asia, and Europe. As a hockey fan, she traveled the East Coast and beyond to see her grandson Jacob play. She attended St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church and was a member of the CCW.  Myrna’s "small, but mighty” attitude took her far in life, leaving a large void where her smile and laugh once was.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In addition to her parents, Myrna was preceded in death by a sister, Dawn (Schoenberger) Jordan Allen, a brother Roy Schoenberger, and step children Terri Moore and Craig Selcher.

Along with her husband, Wayne, she is survived by two sons, Craig Heisey (Tina) of Macon, GA and Mark Heisey (Linda Niesen) of Mechanicsburg; and grandson, Jacob Heisey of Covington, GA. Brothers: William Schoenberger, Jr. (Sharyn) of Lancaster, Robert Schoenberger (Susan) and Brian Schoenberger (Diane) both of Elizabethtown; Sisters: Ginny Schoenberger of Ronks, Debra Beatson (Michael) of Cape Coral, FL, and Cherie Belicic (John) of Elizabethtown; 12 nieces/nephews and 11 grand nieces/nephews. Myrna is also survived by step-daughter Linda Dupes (Lester) of Elverson and their children, Bryce Dupes and Abby Dupes as well as step-son Eric D. Darr (Lauren) of Mechanicsburg and step-grandchildren Maddie Darr, Liam Darr, Olivia Moor, and Abby Moor.
