Susan Elizabeth Mekeel Volker — a loving, devoted and selfless wife, sister and friend — died at Lancaster General Hospital on Wednesday after a valiant 15-month battle with brain cancer. Suzey was 65. An East Hempfield Township resident, Suzey was born in York, the daughter of the late Thomas C. and Celestine Krantz Mekeel. She was a graduate of Hempfield High School, Class of 1967, and Penn State University, where she was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Suzey was a banker for more than three decades, working at National Central Bank, Hamilton Bank and most recently at Susquehanna Bank, where she served as an assistant vice president and relationship associate in commercial lending. It was a field that enabled Suzey to capitalize on her sharp mind for math, her meticulous attention to detail and her persistence in seeing tasks through to the end. Suzey had a huge heart for family and friends, routinely putting the needs of others ahead of her own. Even as her illness progressed, Suzey focused her thoughts on the well-being of friends and relatives. Her compassion extended to charitable causes. She was a generous supporter of nonprofit organizations that fight blindness, develop treatments for people with autism and oppose animal cruelty. But as quick as she was to lend a hand, Suzey was just as quick to downplay her efforts. She enjoyed gardening, taking her dog for walks and going on cruises. Suzey was a member of Mt. Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod. She is survived by her husband, James L. Volker. They would have celebrated their 28th anniversary on May 16. In addition, Suzey is survived by three brothers: Peter C. Mekeel, husband of Audrey M. Mekeel; Daniel H. Mekeel, husband of Ann B. Mekeel; and Timothy T. Mekeel, husband of Alison R. Mekeel; all of Lancaster. Suzey also is survived by: two nieces, Emily A. Mekeel, wife of Chad M. Cauler, Lancaster, and Paige E. Mekeel, Lancaster; two nephews, David C. Mekeel, Lancaster, and Colin T. Mekeel, Lancaster; and two great-nephews, Benjamin M. Cauler and Nicholas C. Cauler, both of Lancaster. Suzey will be greatly missed by her family and friends as well as her beloved dog, Bonnie.
