Dr. Albert Charles Price passed peacefully on December 9, 2024 in Lititz, Pennsylvania at the age of 92. Born in Philadelphia on September 26, 1932 to Dr. Thomas Horner Price and Kathryn Redmond Price, Dr. Price grew up there with his two siblings, Dr. James Price and Elizabeth Jardel.

Dr. Price was married to his beloved wife, Beverly Haas Price, for 64 years before she passed in 2021. He met Beverly at Friends Hospital when she was a student nurse and he was a psychiatric aide. They were married at Christ Church and St. Michael's Episcopal in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1957, and they went on to have five children.

Upon graduating from LaSalle College, Dr. Price joined the U.S. Navy in 1956. In 1959, he graduated from Jefferson Medical School and served as a pediatric physician with the Navy in Philadelphia, Norfolk, San Diego, Charleston, Boston, and Rockville. He later co-founded Roseville Pediatrics and practiced at Lancaster General Hospital. In 1973, he was elected to a fellowship with the American College of Cardiology, specializing in pediatrics. In 1983, Dr. Price retired from the Navy as a Captain.

For decades, Dr. Price dedicated himself to providing compassionate care for the children of Lancaster County. Recognizing his impressive career, Dr. Price was honored as Pennsylvania's Pediatrician of the Year in 2001. He also received accolades and awards from the Lancaster Bureau of Fire, PennState Children's Hospital, Lancaster City and County Medical Society, and the American Trauma Society for his many contributions to the health and safety of his community.

In retirement, Dr. Price remained dedicated to helping Lancaster's youth, visiting schools with The Retired Officers Association, and staying active with the Lancaster County Safe Kids Coalition, a local safety initiative he helped to establish.

Dr. Price also cared for the welfare of animals, rescuing many greyhounds with his wife, Beverly. His other hobbies included deep-sea fishing, traveling, sports, and collecting antiques.

Dr. Price is survived by his children, Ruth Kenyon, Kimberly Frankhouser, Thomas, Patricia Miller, and David; his daughters-in-law, Audrey and Laura; and his sons-in-law, Christopher, David, and Michael. He also is survived by his grandchildren, Christopher, Melissa, Jessica, Emily, Harrison, Sarah, Rebecca, Natalie, Katlyn, Kevin, and Hope; and great-grandchildren, Gabriella, Phoebe, Evelyn, Lucy, Ellis, and Eden.
