September 14, 2025

Paul E. Rodgers, Jr. passed away on September 14, 2025 at Lancaster General Hospital. The same place where he was born in 1948. He was the son of Paul E. Rodgers, Sr. and Miriam McKelly Rodgers. He is survived by his wife, Donna Hess Rodgers, his sister Joy Dietrich, sister-in­ law Dotty Leaman, nieces and nephews, and many great nieces and nephews.

He graduated from Manheim Township High School, York College, and Millersville University. This education could have taken him in many directions in a profession. However, Paul did it his way. His desire was to work outdoors. He was employed by John Denlinger Paving Company.

The greatest pleasure for Paul was doing projects on his home and sharing life with his wife and family members. Paul and Donna would of been married 52 years in October. They enjoyed antiques and various sporting events.

To everyone who knew him, he had a witty sense of humor.
