Marianne “Penny” (Konrad) Rander, age 79, of Bethlehem, was called to her heavenly home on Friday, April 24, 2020 at St. Luke’s Hospice House, and reunited with many loved ones that passed before her. Born and raised in Bethlehem, she was one of three children of the late Lawrence and Beatrice (Apgar) Konrad. Marianne was the wife of John Rander, Jr. with whom she shared 56 years of marriage, and they enjoyed raising their two children in Bethlehem. In her early years, she enjoyed her time as an escort at the Bethlehem Steel. Marianne, or better known as Penny to her friends and family, was a homemaker and enjoyed her time working as a hostess at the former Walp’s Family Restaurant in Allentown. One of her greatest joys was having the opportunity to help care for all six of her grandchildren before they began school. She loved spending time in her yard gardening and tending to plants.
Survivors: In addition to her husband, John, Penny will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Renee’ Young and husband, Brien; son, Erik Rander and wife, Christine; and brothers, Lawrence Konrad and Jon Konrad. She also leaves grandchildren, Jarrid, Aaron, Zachary, Megan, Sarah, and Jeffrey.
