Eleanor H. Kreider, 85, formerly of Quarryville, went home to be with the Lord with her family by her side on Wednesday, December 4, 2019. Born in Mount Joy, she was the daughter of the late Raymond and Nora (Ibach) Hostetter. She is survived by her loving husband of over 66 years, James G. Kreider.
