Our dear, loving, and faithful father, Earl L. Neff, age 92, of Quarryville, passed into his Heavenly home on Monday, June 26, 2023 at Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community where he resided with our mother, Marian M.

Jr. husband of Connie Haire Neff of Montoursville, Kenneth E. husband of Dawn Kauffman Neff of Ronks, 21 grandchildren, and 49 great-grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by 2 brothers: Clarence and Lester Neff and a sister Elizabeth Brubaker.  We as a family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the staff at QPRC and Optum for their kind, caring and compassionate care and support.
