Monica H. Fasnacht, 53,
of Wrightsville, PA, died suddenly on
Monday, October 31, 2011. She was the
wife of James C. Fasnacht and the mother
of Elise C. Fasnacht, both of
Wrightsville.
Born in York, PA, she was the daughter
of the late Orest and Waltraud (Goebel)
Holinowsky. A 1980 graduate of
Millersville University, she spent her
junior year studying at Phillips
University in Marburg, Germany. She was
a Certified Dietary Manager and served
as the Director of Admissions and
Marketing at the Hamilton Arms Center of
Lancaster. In the past, she worked in a
variety of school districts as a German
teacher.
Monica possessed an energetic,
take-charge personality and was always
happiest when she was cooking --
especially for a large gathering. She
enjoyed traveling and sharing time with
her family and many friends.
She was a lifelong member and tireless
volunteer at the Lancaster Liederkranz,
where she most recently served as a
trustee. Following in her mother’s
footsteps, Monica was often found in the
club’s kitchen and over the years she
was a member of the Liederkranz Chorus,
the Alpenrose Schuhplattlers and led
German language classes for club
members. Additionally, Monica and her
husband held leadership positions as
members of the Oberbayern Folk Dance
Group of York, PA.
In addition to her husband and daughter,
Monica is Âsurvived by her sister,
Heidi Holinowsky, and her favorite
companions, her dogs, Schroeder and
Bismarck. All of her other family
members reside in Germany.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests
