A lasting love
Larry and Rosie McNitt
Submitted by their grandchildren
Bud and Rosie McNitt are the best Mimi and Pap.
They have four grandchildren, four great grandchildren and seven granddogs.
Zane was stationed in Japan with the Navy, Jenna lived in California and Florida for the past 15 years, Stevie now lives in Florida and Luke has given them four amazing great-grandchildren. Even through all these big life events and changes, we’ve always kept in touch with Mim and Pap.
As their grandchildren, we spent so much time together with them and each other when we were younger, they even took each of us to Disney World on our own separate trips. We were all very close growing up because of Mim and Pap. And they literally would do anything for any of us.
Now that everyone is older and the majority of us are back in Central PA, we still enjoy spending time with Mim and Pap and the cousins have gotten close again, just like old times. Only now we have Happy Hours at their house, reminiscing and laughing about our lives with an adult beverage in hand.
They’ve taught us the importance of family and continue to show up for any of us in need. Pap will build you anything — from a bar at your college house for eight girls, to shelves, wine coasters and even a doggy ramp for your bed. Mimi is one hell of a woman — in fact, we are constantly comparing everyone to her and joke that no one is quite like her, I mean, God love her. She says that so much that we have all started saying it, like it’s an inside joke. But seriously, she is a gem — rare and one of a kind.
In April 2022, they will be married for 64 years. This picture of them is from Luke’s wedding. They won the “longest couple married” dance and we were so proud, they got a standing ovation from all of us. This picture and these two are relationship AND family goals.
