November 19, 2019

Donald M. “Don” Heagy, 85, of Lancaster, went to be with the Lord on November 19, 2019 at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Penryn, he was the son of the late Allen B. and Nora A. (Minnich) Heagy and the beloved husband of Sara A. “Sally” (Forney) Heagy.

A graduate of Manheim Central High School, class of 1952, Don was a small business owner, owning and operating the Dutch Deli in Reading. He was also a district sales manager of Nationwide in Massachusetts and Bethlehem PA and worked Tell Manufacturing.

Don was a licensed pilot. His favorite past-times were flying, playing bridge, and travelling across the United States camping and RVing. He was also an avid reader and enjoyed tennis and golf. He was a member and past president of Lancaster Aero Club, a member of the choir at Lititz Church of the Brethren, where he attended church, and a volunteer with the Red Cross.

Don is survived by his wife of 64 years, Sally; his children, Greg, Jeff, and Mike (and partner Sheryl); grandchildren, Jessica, Justin, Tylor, and Dylan; great-grandchildren; Isabel, Julian, Oliver, and Aubrey step-grandchildren; Sammy, Lexi, Nicole and Ashley; step-great-grandchildren, Emma, Conor, Dexter, and Lydia; a step-brother; Hiram Royer, and a god-daughter, Angela Chandler (Jon-Michael).

Preceding him in death in addition to his parents are his siblings, Dorothy, Esther, Elwood, Mildred, and Richard; and his step-sister, Maybelle; and his many nieces and nephews – all special to him.

The Heagy family would like to thank all of the incredible staff members of Ann Barshinger Cancer Institute and Lancaster General Hospital, especially Dr. Brennen, Bob, and Annie at Barshinger and the cancer support group.
