Isaac J. Wampler, “Ike,” age 98, of Londonderry Village, Palmyra, was surrounded by his family before passing peacefully on December 28. Born in S.

He loved life, farming, and time with family. He kept busy with hobbies including woodworking, gardening, looming potholders, and attending auctions. Upon moving to the Londonderry Village, he enjoyed singing in the “Harmonizers” men’s choir and visiting with friends.

He is survived by children, Robert (wife Jane) of Atlanta, GA, Wayne (wife Karen), Brenda of Lebanon, Mervin (wife Bonnie) of Hummelstown, and Randy (wife Kathy) of Annville. He loved his family and will be greatly missed by eleven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
