George Nagle

George A. Nagle, 83, of Clay Township, passed away on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024, at his home. Born in Pine Grove, George was a son to the late George and Mable Nagle, and the loving husband of 59 years to Marlene M. (Hine) Nagle until her passing in 2021.

After graduating from Pine Grove High School, George served in the U.S. Navy from 1959 until 1965. He then held numerous jobs in the trucking industry, eventually working for Lancaster Co. to build firetrucks. He later started his own business in delivering campers and horse trailers across the county, even delivering a trailer to John Mellencamp. He also maintained his own dump truck business. George was a long-time member of Muddy Creek Lutheran Church. In his younger years, George enjoyed square dancing, which led him to meeting and falling in love with Marlene. George was always working with his hands, whether it was welding, making homemade ice cream, and especially tending to his amazing flower gardens. In his downtime, George was happy to sit with different kinds of jigsaw puzzles and fill-in puzzles. George had a big heart for his family, friends, and community which will be deeply missed by all.

George is survived by a daughter, Dorene Moore of Ephrata; three grandchildren, Bradley (Ashley Ingram) Moore, James Mertz, and Tanya Conrad; five great-grandchildren; brother, Roy Nagle of Pine Grove; close friend, Esther Malick; and many nieces and nephews. George is predeceased by a daughter, Donna Mertz; grandson in-law, Timothy Conrad; and brother, Guy Nagle.
