I, ROSEANN C. VONDRA, of Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will and revoke any Will previously made by me.
ITEM I:
DEBTS.
I direct that all my debts and funeral expenses, including my gravemarker and all
expenses of my last illness, that my estate is obligated to pay shall be paid from my
residuary estate as a part of the expense of the administration of my estate.
ITEM ll:
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY.
I give and bequeath my personal effects, my household goods and other tangible
personal property of like nature (not including automobiles, cash or securities), together
with existing insurance thereon to my niece, CAROLYN MASTRO. If she does not
survive me, said items shall be distributed among her children.
While this bequest is absolute, it is my wish that any memorandum I may leave
addressed to my personal representative indicating my desire with respect to the disposal of
my tangible personal property shall be regarded.

without the necessity of obtaining the order of any court to do all acts, to execute,

deem advisable for the sale, conveyance, lease, transfer, exchange or other
disposition of the whole or any part of the estate and to exercise any option at any
time held as part of the estate;
4. To invest and reinvest the whole or any part of the estate in any kind of
property, real, personal or mixed, or undivided or part interests therein, including
stocks, bonds, notes, securities, minerals and other natural resources, limited
partnerships, common trust funds, interest bearing accounts and other property of
whatsoever character, located in the United States or abroad, all statutory and other
limitations as to the investment of funds, now or hereafter enacted or in force, being
hereby waived and without obligation to diversify the same and without liability for
any decline in the value thereof;

011215-00001/11.11.981HAJ/PAR/116881
not discretionary), to act without independent investigation upon their
recommendations and to determine and pay their compensation and expenses out of
the estate;

obtaining judicial approval, the whole or any part of the estate upon the receipt and
release of the beneficiary entitled to receive such distribution, in which event my

as my Personal Representative shall determine and to pledge all or any part of the

the estate without rent or upon such other terms and conditions as my Personal

6.2. Exercise of Discretionary Powers. Each and every power, authority and
discretion given to or vested in my Personal Representative by the provisions of this Will or
by law, whatever may be the nature or extent thereof, shall be freely exercisable by my
Personal Representative at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion, as it alone shall determine. Each exercise thereof shall not be open to question in
any manner whatsoever by and shall be binding upon each person having an interest in the
estate.
6.3. Disclaimer By Personal Representative. I authorize my Personal
Representative to disclaim in whole or in part any property or interest therein passing to me
or to my estate by reason of a testamentary or inter vivos transfer or an intestate disposition
or by any other means.
6.4. Option with Respect to Expenses. In the event any expense of
administration of my estate shall, at the option of my Personal Representative, be deductible
either in computing any federal income tax payable during the administration of my estate
or in computing the federal estate tax payable with respect to my estate, my Personal
Representative shall exercise such option as my Personal Representative shall deem to be in
the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries thereof. In the event any such expense is
deducted for federal income tax purposes, my Personal Representative may, but shall not be
required to, transfer from income to principal an amount equal to the additional federal
estate tax which my estate may be required to pay by reason of the failure to claim any such
expense as a deduction for federal estate tax purposes.
