THERESA "TERRI" M. SCHELL

Theresa "Terri" M. Schell, of Mountain Top, passed away at home, Sunday morning, September 4, 2022 in her loving husband's arms, after a valiant fight with cancer.

Born in Hazleton, she was the daughter of the late Chester and Helen Drost Ledzieski and graduated from Hazleton High School, Class of 1969.  Terri was a very hard worker, beginning her employment at a very young age at RCA and then Genova.  She retired, after 30 years from Hershey Chocolate in Hazleton and went to assist Dr. Raymond Joseph at his medical practice in Wilkes-Barre.  Terri and her husband, Richard, spent all of their retirement, side by side, enjoying each other's company until her final hours. She was a wonderful, devoted and loving wife and a giving person with a Heart of Gold, who touched many lives. She had an inner strength that you rarely find today. She was greatly loved and will be terribly missed.  Terri is at peace with the Lord Jesus.

Being a woman of great faith, she was a member of the Mountain Top Family Church, where she was a greeter, which gave her great joy and was her passion and served in other outreaches. Terri was a fun loving person and was well known for her chicken fingers and pork chop dinners.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Mary Ellen Luchetta.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 36 years, Richard Schell; sister Joan Ferry and her husband, Jim of Hazleton; nieces, nephews and many friends.

Visitation will be conducted from 10:00 am to 11:30 am on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at Mountaintop Family Church, 209 S. Mountain Blvd. With a Memorial service at 11:30 am at the church.
