Donald A. Fuhrman

Donald A. Fuhrman, 89, of Hanover, PA, entered into God’s eternal care, Wednesday, November 22, 2023, at Hanover Hall Nursing Home, Hanover, PA, with his loving family by his side. 

Born July 14, 1934, in Hanover, PA, he was the son of the late Albert J. and Catherine M.  (Livelsberger) Fuhrman.  Donald was the loving husband of Sandra J. (Brillhart) Fuhrman with whom he shared 64 years of marriage.   

Donald was a member of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Hanover, where he served as an usher captain and greeter.

Donald was a 1954 graduate of Hanover High School, Hanover, PA.  He was a veteran and served his country proudly in the United States Navy.
