During her tenure, the Maplewood Estates apartments were completed,
the Healthcare Center received a total renovation, renovations are

Berster has served in five different senior
services organization since 1976: Peninsula United Methodist Homes and
Ingleside Homes in Delaware; Presbyterian Homes in the Presbytery of
Huntington, Presbyterian Homes Inc., and Peter Becker Community in
Pennsylvania.
When asked about her time at Peter Becker Community, she replied, “I
will always be thankful to the Board of Directors for giving me this
opportunity to be in service in this wonderful place. I have worked for
five different senior services organizations over the past 38 years and
by far Peter Becker is the most loving and caring place that I have
served.”
The board has appointed Mennonite Health Services Alliance to lead
the search to begin seeking the next CEO. The community also is planning
opportunities for staff, families, and constituents to honor Berster
for her years of service.
