David Andrew Gansner

David Andrew Gansner, 88, of Eagleville, PA, passed away Thursday, April 10, 2025 at Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital.

He was the loving husband of Nancy (Haag) Gansner.

David was a member of Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church. He had an undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri and Masters' degrees from Ohio State University and Wharton School of Business.  He worked for the U.S. Forest Service for 37 years, retiring in 1994.
