Betty (Mummert) Pope, 84, was called to her eternal home to be with her Lord and Savior at 10:05 p.m. Wednesday, September 3, 2014, at her residence, with her loving family by her side. She was the wife of Harold R. "Ray" Pope, who entered into eternal rest on February 6, 2012. She was born in Hanover, on June 16, 1930, and was the daughter of the late John and Irene (Harr) Mummert. Betty was a homemaker and she took care of the administrative work for Pope Engineering Development and Design in Felton, which she co-owned with her late husband. She was a longtime member of Faith Fellowship Church in York. Surviving are four children, Cheryl A. Fake of Windsor and her husband, Peter, Harold K. Pope of Schellsburg and his wife, Sharon, John R. Pope of Felton, and David S. Pope of Dominican Republic and his wife, Stacey; six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren; a sister, Jean George of Spring Grove; and nieces and nephews. There will be a visitation from 9 to 10 a.m. Tuesday, September 9, at Temple Baptist Church, 2550 Pine Grove Road, York. Burg Funeral Home, Inc., 134 W.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be offered to the Alzheimer's Association GPA, 3544 N. Progress Ave., Suite 205, Harrisburg, PA 17110-9638.
Betty was a very loving and caring Mother and Grandmother. Her family always came first before her own needs. She was a wonderful pie maker and she loved going on trips in her motor home with her best friend, Dot Adams, to listen to gospel bluegrass music. She also loved her many cats. Betty loved the Lord and His Light shone brightly within her and on those around her. She knew someday He would call her name and she would spend eternity with Him. This is not "good-bye", it is "until we meet again."
