Gayle Delynn Harner's Obituary
Gayle Delynn Harner, 75, of Orange City, Florida, and formerly Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, went peacefully to be with the Lord on December 22, 2025. Her presence is greatly missed by her loved ones. Gayle was born in Harrisburg, Pa on November 5, 1950. She is remembered as one with a cheerful disposition reflective of her surname “Blose” which was derived from Old French and originated in France and England. She smiled often and brought much joy to her family.
Gayle attended Lower Dauphin High School, Hummelstown, Pa and sang in her church choir as a youth. Her contributions included working in a school cafeteria, factories, grocery stores and a long term family business. She retired to Florida and her most wonderful contribution to life was as a mother and homemaker to her children and caregiver to her grandchildren. She enjoyed listening to music. Nothing meant more to Gayle than her family.
She is survived by Bradley N. Harner of Orange City, Florida and their 2 children, Natalie A. Roggio of Deltona, FL and Daniel M. Harner of Lancaster, Pa and 3 grandchildren, Damian M. Harner (Palmyra, Pa), Lucas B. Roggio (Deltona, FL) and Daniel Maka Harner (Lancaster, Pa). Survivors also include two sisters, Yvonne E. McNaughton of Hummelstown, Pa and Cheryl J. Landis of Thompsontown, Pa.
Gayle is proceeded in death by her parents, Joseph Thomas Blose, Jr. (WWII and Korean War Veteran) and Zelma Romaine Zinn formerly of Hummelstown, Pa, and two brothers, Thomas D. Blose (Halifax, Pa) and Ronald K. Blose (Hummelstown, Pa).
A celebration of life will be held at the Woodlawn Memorial Gardens located at 4855 Londonderry Road in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at a later date with a gathering of family and friends.
