Obituary

Verdon C. Decker, 90, of Lenoxville, PA, died Monday morning, January 6, 2020 at home. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, the former Faye L. Hallstead, with whom he shared 56 years of marriage at the time of her death on October 14, 2008. Born on February 28, 1929 in Glenwood, PA, he was the son of the late Harry Isaac Decker and Olive Armillie Ross Decker. Verdon was a graduate of Harford High School, Harford, PA, and began his work career as a mechanic with H.L. Stephens and Son Ford in Lenoxville and later with Gault Chevrolet in Endicott, NY. He retired from Procter and Gamble in Mehoopany, PA, after 23 years of employment. Verdon was extremely mechanical and could fix anything. He was fondly referred to by many as the "mower man". At one time or another, he either fixed someone's lawn mower or was sought out for a part from his vast collection he accumulated. Verdon was a loving Christian man, who was a member of the Lenoxville United Methodist Church and its choir. He was also a member of the Lenoxville Band where he played trombone. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Aseracare and Paragon for their kind and compassionate care of Verdon. He is survived by a son: Michael J.
