Howard D Peterman

Howard Douglas Peterman, 83, of Marysville, peacefully transitioned to his heavenly home on September 28,
2022. He was born July 16, 1939, in Carlisle, PA, and was the son of Raymond and Myrtle (Marr) Peterman,
parents whom he deeply cherished. Spending his early years on the farm and later helping with the family
business, Peterman Farm Equipment, Howard especially treasured his upbringing: church family at Carlisle
Brethren in Christ Church; his classmates at Boiling Springs HS (Class of 1957) and Messiah/Shippensburg
(Class of 1961); and his family, particularly his older twin brothers, Ralph and Roy, and many cousins. For 36
years, he happily taught business at East Pennsboro School District (Enola, PA) where he forged countless
beloved friendships and memories and where he met his beautiful wife of 57 years, Carol (Walsh) Peterman.
He loved life and his community in central PA and was involved with numerous local civic organizations and
avidly supported local sports. He was a long-time member of the Camp Hill Church of God and valued his
loving church family. Perhaps his most impactful role in life was that of a father, grandfather, son, brother,
uncle, and cousin. He abundantly supported, encouraged, and blessed his family in every way. He enjoyed
following his grandchildren’s endeavors, especially music, and he was a fantastic role model. Howard’s sense
of humor, cheerful demeanor, generosity, and friendliness with everyone he encountered will be profoundly
missed. Howard is survived by a daughter, Debby (Peterman) Moore; son-in-law, Chris; adoring grandchildren,
Autumn, Canyon, and Houston Moore of Newport, PA; step-granddaughter, Ashley Murdoch of Florida; and
brother, Ralph Peterman of Carlisle. A celebration of his life will be held on Friday, October 14, at the Camp
Hill Church of God. 123 N 21st St. Camp Hill. Visitation 10 AM, service 11, and meal to follow. Memorial
contributions can be made to Camp Hill Church of God or Homeland Hospice.
