Jerry Allan Beatty, Sr., 83, of Strasburg Township, formerly of Lampeter and Strasburg, passed away on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at Lancaster General Hospital after a hard-fought battle with illness. He was the beloved husband of Barbara Ann (Ecenrode) Beatty. Born in Colemanville, he was the son of the late Flora Beatty. Jerry was a talented “jack-of-all-trades” individual, performing plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and mechanical work for various manufacturing companies and property management companies over the years. During his lifetime, Jerry attended Colemanville United Methodist Church, Wesley United Methodist Church in Strasburg, and Kinzer Mennonite Church. To those that knew Jerry, he had a good sense of humor and never passed up an opportunity to play a trick on someone. He enjoyed being outside enjoying nature and working around the house in the vegetable and flower gardens. Jerry also looked forward to helping Barb with projects and he loved being her best friend and soulmate. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughters, Carol (Jeff) McKelvey, of Lancaster, Darlene Arment, of Lebanon, Paulette Sollenberger, of Bridgeport, and Jessica Beatty, of Pittsburgh; sons, Jerry Beatty, Jr., of Lebanon, Greg Beatty, of Strasburg Township, and Jacob (Candies) Beatty, of Strasburg; and a sister, Kathy (Kurt) Brackin, of Leola.
