Claude W. Mengle Jr.

Claude W. Mengle, Jr., 88, of Mifflinburg, entered into rest on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at his residence.

Born on September 6, 1938, in Sunbury, he was the son of the late C. William Mengle and Helen J. Reeder. On March 23, 1957, he married Sandra L. (Libby) Mengle, who survives. Together, they shared 69 years of marriage filled with love, faith, and cherished memories.

Claude was a 1956 graduate of Sunbury High School. He dedicated 35 years of his professional life to Lewisburg Veterinary Hospital, where he served as manager.

A man of deep faith, Claude attended Hillside Bible Church, where he taught Sunday school. He was also involved with Gideons International and was a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America.

Claude enjoyed woodworking, painting, and reading, especially his Bible. Above all, he treasured time spent with his family, particularly his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought him immense joy.

Surviving, in addition to his wife, Sandra, are three daughters and their spouses, Shelley and Fred Hoffman of Mifflinburg, Wendy and Gary Royer of Middleburg, and Amy and Timothy Stump; seven grandchildren, Jamie Musser, Rebecca Hoffman, Megan Zimmerman, Cindy Vickerman, Angella Laubach, Jennifer Hauck, and Katie Knepp; fourteen great-grandchildren, Kelsey, Tyler, Kara, Julie, Skylar, Brandon, Olivia, Benjamin, Savannah, Emily, Zoey, Troy, Lucas, and Leah; one sister, Kathy E. Mengle of Shamokin Dam; and one brother and sister-in-law, David L. and Linda Mengle of Berwick.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a daughter and son-in-law, Stephanie and James Reigel of Shamokin Dam, one grandson, Fred W. Hoffman III, and one sister, Betty J. Hughes.

There will be no immediate services; interment will be in Orchard Hills at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Claude's memory may be made to Gideons International.
