Marit Dvorak, 54, of Lancaster, passed away on Saturday, January 8, 2021. Comforted by her husband, Derek Shanahan, and sister Leah Dvorak, she fought a short but spirited battle with cancer.
Born in Bloomington, MN, she and Derek found their way to Lancaster in 1994 to pursue Derek’s teaching career at Millersville University. An exceptional gardener, she was involved in the local herb guild and brought life and beauty into her home and yard. Marit was an enthusiastic crafter and knitter, seeing the potential in anything to become something special. She also enjoyed books and helping with the public library book sales, auctions, the beach, and her cats.
Marit is also survived by her parents, David and JoAnne, siblings Chris and Paul, and nephew David.
The family wishes that any memorials be directed to fighting cancer.
