IN LOVING MEMORY OF
David N.
Axe
September 13, 1941 – February 21, 2024
David N. Axe, 82, of Lancaster, went home to be with the Lord on February 21, 2024, after a lengthy illness, under the compassionate care of hospice. Born on September 13, 1941, to the late Esther and Kenneth Axe, Dave worked as a truck driver for companies such as Roadway, Yellow Freight, and Taylor Oil Company, before retiring from HOP Energy. He was a longtime member of Ascension Lutheran Church.
He leaves behind his wife of over 50 years, Geraldine (Gerry); daughter, Donna (Daryl) Nissley, of Lancaster; son, David L. Axe, of Ephrata; sisters, Duanne Mishler of Mount Joy, Chrislyn (Kevin) Randell of Denver, Colorado; brothers, Barry (Margaret) Axe of Quarryville, Kenneth (Linda) Axe of Belview, Florida, Timothy (Carol) Axe of Lancaster, and Christopher Axe of East Petersburg. His grandchildren, Mike Axe of Los Angeles, California, and Matt (Meagan) Lawrence of Millersville, also survive him.
Dave is remembered for his faith in Jesus, his smart and witty sense of humor, his love for doo-wop music, his passion for genealogy, and his enjoyment of red wine. Dave has made a lasting impact on all who knew him.
Visitation will be held at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home, 441 N. George Street, Millersville, on Monday, February 26, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, followed by a service with Pastor Maureen Seifried. Interment will follow at Mount Hope United Methodist Cemetery, 75 Mount Hope Road, Quarryville, PA 17566.
