Madeline Janet Kressley, 94 years, peacefully passed away Saturday, December 17, 2022, at home in Surfside Beach, SC.  She was the loving wife of the late Paul F. Kressley for 74 years.  Born in Topton, she was the daughter of the late George and Florence (Reppert) Trexler.

She was a homemaker and loving mother to her three daughters, Carol, Barbara, and Angela.  Madeline was a member of Ziegels Lutheran Church in Breinigsville.

Madeline was affectionately known as 'Nana' to her family and friends. She had the ability to invoke friendship with people after the first meeting and it showed in the numerous friends she had near and far throughout her life.  As the matriarch of the family, her house always felt like a home to everyone that visited.  Her laughter filled our souls, her smile filled our hearts, her cookies filled our stomachs, and her light filled us all.  She could always be counted on to help friends and family in a time of need, her heart knew no bounds.  Heaven gained a true angel, and we know that Pappy and her friends and family were waiting to welcome her home with open wings.  She will forever be missed and will never be forgotten.

Survivors: daughters, Barbara J. Frey and husband Jerry of Zionsville and Angela E. Johnston and husband Norman of Surfside Beach, SC; son-in-law, Robert Guenther, Sr.; grandchildren, Jessica Bradley, Christine Schuett, Michelle Herman, Tammie Kohler, Robert Guenther, Jr., Brandon Johnston, Jeremy Johnston, and their spouses, and great grandchildren, Jake, Grant, Troy, Charlee, Logan, Erica, Stephanie, Tyler, Mackenzie, Kayleigh, Ciara, great great grandson, Weylyn, and several nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her husband Paul F. Kressley, her daughter Carol A. Guenther, and her brothers Rayfield and Floyd Trexler.
