December 22, 1933 — April 25, 2012
Alvey L. Powell, Jr., 78, of Shippensburg, died on Wednesday, April 25, 2012, at the Chambersburg Hospital.
He was born on December 22, 1933, in Hancock, MD, a son of the late Alvey L. and Mary Marie Troxell Powell, Sr. On May 29, 1952, Alvey married Ms. Mildred I. Smith in Hancock, MD.
Early in his career, Alvey worked for the Karper Trucking Co., Chambersburg. He then moved on to the Cressler Trucking Co., Shippensburg, where he worked as a driver, retiring after 46 years of employment there. Alvey continued working though and was currently employed for the past nine years, at T & G Auto, Shippensburg, where he was their rollback driver. He had great interest in trucking, cars, and his faithful dogs.
Alvey was considered a “jack-of-all-trades” and a hero to his family. He was a loving and caring husband, father, and grandfather. One of his greatest joys in life was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great granddaughter.
He is survived by his wife of sixty years, Mildred; three daughters, Sandra K. (Robert) Bock of Lancaster, Donna J. (Barry) Johnson of Chambersburg, and Barbara S.
