James S. Findley

James S. Findley, 59, of Parkesburg, passed away on Saturday, May 15, 2021 after a short illness.  He was the widower of the late Sherri Findley, who passed away in 2014 after four years of marriage.

Born in Lancaster, James was the son of the late Barbara A. (Lechner) and James E. Gahring, Sr.  A resident of Parkesburg for the past 11 years, James had previously lived in Lancaster and Ephrata.
