Edward Romanosky, 86, of Exeter, Pennsylvania, died peacefully in his home on October 29, 2024, surrounded by the love of his family.
Edward was born January 5, 1938, in Exeter to Mary Masley (Vacula) and Eugene Romanosky. He graduated from Exeter High School in 1955. At 17, Edward joined the United States Air Force serving proudly and admirably for four years in Japan.
Edward married the love of his life, Molly Donachie, in 1966. Over the next seven years, they had four children and, later in life, a daughter-in-law, two sons-in-law, and three grandchildren. He spent those 58 years of his life being the bedrock of his family. A partner to his wife in all things and a provider for his children in every way, the strength of his love and devotion to his family were unquestionable. He was a father whom all four of his children looked up to for his love, intelligence, strength, and responsibility, and they are forever grateful to him and proud of him for the values he instilled in them.
Edward retired from Proctor and Gamble in 1996 after working there for over 25 years. He enjoyed reading, watching football and classic Westerns, and sitting on the back porch in the summer listening to a ball game or music. He had a green thumb and always had a beautiful garden.
Edward is survived by his wife Molly Romanosky (Donachie), his four children, and their spouses: son Eugene Romanosky and his wife Susie Romanosky of Jackson Heights, NY; daughter Susan Seube and her husband, Mark Seube of Loyalsock, PA; daughter Jaynie Romanosky of Exeter, PA; and son Neil Romanosky and his husband Angelo Filaccio of East Lansing, MI; his three grandchildren: Joachim Romanosky and Sophia Romanosky of Jackson Heights, NY, and Nathan Thomas of Exeter, PA; brothers John Masley, Paul Masley, and sister Mary Ellen Erwine and her husband Terry Erwine; brother-in-law John Donachie and sister-in-law Helene Donachie; many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his sister Regina Umberger (Romanosky), brother Mark Masley, and step-father John Masley.
