GREENWOOD - Mark B. Schrock passed away in his home on Thursday, September 6, 2012, after experiencing declining health over the last two years. He was a faithful servant and witness for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His quiet and steady demeanor earned the respect of those who knew him. He had a quick smile and warm greeting for all, regardless of their status in society. He was born in May 27, 1917, near Grantsville, Md., the youngest of four children born to Lewis and Mary (Miller) Schrock. The family moved to Delaware when he was a toddler. He was raised on a farm near Staytonville, Del., working the fields with the help of Jack and Joe, a slightly mismatched pair of ornery mules. He learned to appreciate the value of frugality while experiencing The Great Depression as a teenager. He was one of the few surviving original students of Greenwood Mennonite School, having been in attendance on the first day of classes in 1928. His life would remain intertwined with GMS, seeing his four children graduate from there, serving on the school board during the sixties and helping out in the cafeteria for ten years, starting in his early eighties. He enjoyed supporting the athletic teams and had a favorite spot on the top row of the bleachers where he could rest his back against the wall. He enjoyed watching his grandsons in their athletic endeavors from little league through high school. As a young man he purchased a used Harley-Davidson motorcycle, not being able to afford a car at the time. For two years that was his mode of transportation, regardless of the weather. Even in his last days, he would get a twinkle in his eye when hearing the throaty rumble of a passing motorcycle. On June 8, 1941, he and Rosy Bender were united in marriage at Maple Glen Conservative Mennonite Church at Grantsville. This union would last for sixty-seven years until her passing in June of 2008. Together they raised their four children along with countless flocks of chickens. During this time he was employed at Playtex in Dover, working forty years before retiring on his seventy-first birthday. In the earlier years, he was a bus driver for John Annette. In addition to the occasional local charter trips, he transported fellow employees to and from Playtex. In 1962, the bus route was discontinued due to declining patronage. After much thought and prayer he took it upon himself to purchase a three-seat station wagon to transport the remaining passengers who had no alternative transportation. He provided this service for over twenty years, going through four station wagons. He was the oldest member of Greenwood Mennonite Church, where he had served as adult Sunday school teacher and chairman of the Wednesday evening prayer meeting program committee. He also participated in various outreach programs of the church, including prison ministry, home visitation to the elderly and disabled, and conducting Sunday school classes for the children of migrant workers who were in the area during the late summer harvest season. Many remember his rich bass singing voice in his earlier years. In addition to his parents and wife, he was pre-deceased by two sons in law, Daniel Humphries Sr., and Lester Smith; a brother, Ray Schrock; and two sisters, Beulah Schlabach and Savilla Yoder. He is survived by three daughters Ruthella Smith, Marvetta Holtzinger, Rosetta Humphries and her husband Herbert Maloney; and a son, Gordon Schrock and his wife Dianne, all of Greenwood. He is also survived by seven grandsons, Mike Smith, Bobby Smith, Jason Holtzinger, Danny Humphries Jr., Jonathan Schrock, Clifton Schrock and Philip Schrock as well as twelve great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank Dad's caregivers over the last two years for their dedicated service, the Hospice folks, and all who dropped in to visit, even if just for a few minutes. May the Lord richly bless you all. A viewing will be held Sunday evening September 9, 2012, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Greenwood Mennonite Church. The funeral service will be Monday, September 10, 1012, at 2 p.m. at the church with interment following in the adjoining cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial donations to Greenwood Mennonite School or Greenwood Mennonite Church. Arrangements by Fleischauer Funeral Home, 16 West Market St., Greenwood, DE.
