Truyde S. Greiner, 93

December 16, 2022

Truyde S. Greiner, 93, of Lancaster passed away December 16, 2022. She was born to the late Norman and Anna Shanabrock in Hanover. Truyde was a homemaker for much of her life but in her youth, she worked at the naval yard in Mechanicsburg. It was during her time there she met her husband the late William A. Greiner. They enjoyed 52 years of marriage together until his passing in 2006.

Truyde loved to garden and was meticulous in the care of her yard. She also enjoyed bird watching in her free time. She was an active member of the Lancaster County Philatelic Society and was an avid stamp collector. She enjoyed stamp collecting for many years and would even donate stamps to the North Museum to support children who wanted to pursue the hobby. She will be missed by those who love her.

Left to treasure her memory are her sons, William A. Greiner III of Lancaster, David W. Greiner of Lancaster and Richard A. Greiner of Lancaster; 4 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Along with her husband and parents, Truyde is preceded in passing by her sister Judith Shanabrook.

A graveside service will be held December 23, 2022, at Greenwood cemetery at 10AM. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Truyde’s honor to the American Philatelic Society at 100 Match Factory Place Bellefonte, PA 16823.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.  Truyde was a kind and generous person, and always had a quick smile for everyone. She was very knowledgeable about stamps and stamp collecting.  We have known her for many years at stamp club meetings and functions.  She was a very dedicated member of the club, and especially loved helping children learn about stamp collecting.  She will be missed.  Chuck and Donna Kilgore

Truyde was a remarkable person and will be missed. As a fellow stamp collector, I always admired Bill & Truyde. We go back to the late 1970s purchasing stamps from Don Dorwart. We later became members of the Lancaster Stamp Club around the same time in the 1980s. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Greiner family.  Peter Billis

Truyde was a very special friend of our entire family and was loved by all of us. She was a very loyal member of our stamp club and loved visiting our store with Bill. It was always heartwarming to see her, and we will miss her dearly. She was a very rare individual who was genuine and caring. Our entire family sends our thoughts and prayers to the Greiner family.
