Donald N. “Dan” Everitt, 88, of Mifflinburg, died at home on Sunday, July 25, 2021.

He was born April 24, 1933, in Cowan, a son of the late Dean and Martha (Stassner) Everitt. Dan and his wife, former Judy Spaid, who survived him, have lived their nearly 60 years of marriage in Mifflinburg.

Dan graduated from the Mifflinburg High School Class of 1951.

For 20 years, Dan served as Union County Sheriff, initially running the county jail. Prior to this position, he worked as chief deputy sheriff. He also served the community as a part-time police officer in Mifflinburg. After his years on the family farm, he worked for Lewisburg Builders Supply. After retirement, he worked part-time at Weis Markets and Dominick Adamo Funeral Home in Mifflinburg. He is full of strength and love for people.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by three children, Deborah E. Lynch (Scott) of Hershey, Elizabeth E. Rollins (Craig) of Rock Hill, SC, and Andrew D. Everitt (Maricela) of Duryea; six grandchildren, Patrick Lynch of New York City, Anna Lynch of Philadelphia, Chad Rollins of Denver, Colo., Reagan Rollins of Charlotte, NC, Joyssen Gonzalez of Avoca, and Julian Everitt of Duryea; and a brother and sister, Carl and Donna Everitt of Mifflinburg.

He was preceded in death by two brothers Harold Everitt and Kenneth Everitt; and a sister, Dorothy Dershem.

A former winner at DeKalb Future Farmer of America, Dan’s passions are hunting, the outdoors, and volunteering.

As a longtime member of the Mifflinburg Tube Company, Dan responded to numerous fires and events as a volunteer firefighter. He was a member of the PA Sheriff’s Association, serving as president in 1996. He was also a member of the Lions Club, and for many years, served as the man behind the mascot!

Dan has always been a generous family, friend, and active member of the community, whether through church, clubs, or just because he loves people. All of her children and grandchildren encouraged her corny jokes that made everyone laugh if not with her, at her.

Dan and Judy enjoy many adventures together, both at home and on the road. Their favorite memories are centered around a week -long car trip to the American West, where they saw natural land formations, Native American lands, and wildlife. They also love spending time together on Cape Cod and Maine.

Dan will later be remembered and loved by his family and friends.

Family and friends are invited to visit from 3 to 4 pm Thursday, July 29, at Adamo Funeral Home, 16 Walnut St., Mifflinburg, where the Celebration of Life service will be held at 4 pm with Pastor Robert Rice and Rev. Shirley Cornell is in charge.
