OCEAN PINES - Gunvor "Mary" Kimpel's soul departed this earth Monday, July 18, 2016, in the presence of her grateful children. She was born in New York City and raised in Delaware where she graduated from the University of Delaware followed by a Masters degree in Elementary Education. She went on to teach elementary school in Hawaii where she met her future husband Frank. They resided happily for many years in Ocean Pines. She later taught for over 20 years in Eastern School District at Wrightsville Elementary School. She had four children and their spouses who survive her, Dave and Kim Kimpel of York, Pennsylvania, Frank and Donna Kimpel of Charles Town, West Virginia, Bev Kimpel and Elisabeth "Biz" Houghton of Freeport, Maine, Barb Kimpel and Karel Cauchon of York, Pennsylvania. She was also the beaming proud grandparent of eight grandchildren, Michael, Adam, Seth, Isaiah, Brianna, Lauren, Lily and Sarah. Mary loved her family, reading, classical music and all children. Her greatest gift to her family was the clear lesson that it is not money, power or prestige that matter. It is not race, religion, gender, education, physical or mental abilities upon which a person's soul relies. It is the gift of the heart and how you give it to others. Safe journey home Mom. Deep gratitude to the Dallastown Nursing Center Staff for their loving attentive care. Visiting hour 12 p.m., Service 1 p.m., Saturday, August 6, 2016, at Dover United Church of Christ, 45 Canal Street, Dover, PA 17315 Anyone wishing to honor Mary's memory may make donations of random acts of kindness and non-judgement to the world at large. She would be most pleased.
