Vernon C. Berndt,
85, of Mount Joy, PA, formally of Mahwah, NJ, died
Friday, July 8, 2022 at Lancaster General Hospital,
after a brief illness.
Born in St. Joseph,

Logan, and the late Mildred Berndt (2000).
Vernon was a civil
engineer who retired as the manager of the materials
division after 30 years with the Port Authority of New

choir member of St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church,
Lancaster PA. Vernon spent over 30 years in Mahwah, NJ,
where he raised his children with his wife Millie and
where he was a proud member of the Holy Cross Lutheran
Church. He enjoyed landscaping and gardening, and
volunteered his expertise to family, neighbors and
church. In earlier years on a typical Saturday, he and
his son Jon could be found caring for the church grounds
in addition to his own. He was an avid golfer, who
recorded 2 “holes in one”.
He loved spending
time with friends and family, but his greatest pleasure
was the time with his grandchildren. Surviving in
addition to his wife Judy is his daughter Diane
