James D. Neidermyer, Sr.

OBITUARY

James D. Neidermyer, Sr., 81, of Blandon, passed away peacefully on

Sunday, May 3, 2026, in Sinking Spring Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center,

where he had resided. Born in Lancaster, PA, he was the last surviving of seven

children born to the late Esther Mae (Peiffer) and Paul H. Neidermyer. He was

married for nearly 37 years to his loving wife, Jeanne Ann (Epright) Neidermyer.

Jim attended Cocalico High School and was the owner/operator of James

Neidermyer Poultry for 39 years, retiring in 2017. He loved music, playing his

accordion and keyboard, and was well-known as a DJ for Christian radio station

WDAC in Lancaster.

Jim was deeply religious and was a former member of both Kissinger’s

Church, where he was an elder and Bible study teacher, and Alsace Lutheran

Church, where he served on Church Council, was Sunday School superintendent

and taught adult classes. Most recently, he was a faithful member of Riverview

Christian Church, and a member of the Men’s Group.

More than anything, Jim loved spending time with his family and found solace

in bike rides through the countryside, and long walks closer to home.

In addition to his beloved wife Jeanne, Jim is survived by sons, James D.

Neidermyer, Jr., husband of Shelly of Live Oak, FL, and Jeffrey L. Neidermyer,

husband of Melinda of Sinking Spring, as well the true joys of his life, his

grandchildren: Chris, Eric, Preston, Hannah, Alex and Evan.

In addition to his parents, Jim was predeceased by his two sisters, Evelyn and

Maryann, and four brothers, Paul, Buddy, Carl and Fred.
