Faith & Family -

Sue Ann (Potteiger) Harley, age 62, of Camp Hill, and formerly of Mechanicsburg, was welcomed home by Jesus on the Lord’s Day, Sunday, August 28, 2016, after heroically struggling with the debilitating effects of multiple strokes.  Sue was born on Monday, November 30, 1953 in Mechanicsburg to the late Eugene Potteiger and Nancy C. (Metzger) Potteiger.

Sue’s survivors include her four children: Deann Quigley and her husband, Matthew, of Carlisle, Delynn Bickle and her husband, Michael, of Dillsburg, Robert Girardeau and his husband, Darren, of Downingtown, Brooke Eckert and her husband, Andrew, of Mechanicsburg; her ten grandchildren: Kayla, Dakota, Dominic, Owen, Autumn, Brendan, Jaeden, Jayme, Jordyn, Joseph; and her four siblings: Gary Potteiger, Jae Potteiger and his wife, Marie, Jim Potteiger and his wife, Ruth, Cindy Moyer and her husband, Wayne; and several nieces and nephews.

Sue graduated from Cumberland Valley High School as part of the class of 1971.  For many years, she worked at AMP as an executive assistant before becoming the executive assistant to Duane Greenly, chief executive officer at Ames True Temper.  Following her retirement from Ames True Temper, Sue joined the Myers – Buhrig Funeral Home and Crematory Team as a care attendant, video artist, and production assistant.  She was loved by client families and by her fellow team members.

Sue was a former member of Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church before becoming an active member of Celebration Community Church in Dillsburg.  She participated in feeding the homeless, mission work, and worship just to name a few of Sue’s devotions.  Sue had an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and shared the good news freely.  Her faith strengthened her through her illness and she never despaired.  Until the end, Sue remained positive and courageous and knew the reward that awaited her in her eternal Father’s house.

Sue was her children’s and grandchildren’s greatest cheerleader.  Her grandchildren were always close to her heart and were very important to her.  In the hustle and bustle of life, Sue cherished the time she had with her family and quietly longed for more.  She was deeply loved by so many and she will be greatly missed.
