December 07, 2024

Donald Paul Ostrander, 71, of Millersville, PA, passed away peacefully at home on December 7, 2024.

Born on December 22, 1952, he was the son of the late Donald and Lois Ostrander. He was the beloved husband of Judy Ostrander, with whom he shared 49 wonderful years of
marriage.

Donald was the proud father of son Jason Ostrander and daughter Christina wife of Ben Cook, and cherished grandfather to Sophia Kent and Anneliesa Ostrander. He is also survived by his sister, Sandy wife of Ron Szparaga, as well as many other family members and friends who will remember him fondly. He leaves behind his loyal dog, Winnie, who brought him much joy and companionship.

A dedicated professional, Donald retired from Donnelly Financial in 2018 after 38 years ofservice. Throughout his life, he had many passions, including his deep love for family, spending time at the shore in Ocean City, playing golf, rooting for both the Detroit Lions and Tigers and his special bond with Winnie. His vibrant spirit and commitment to those he loved will be dearly missed.

In keeping with Donald’s wishes, he will be cremated. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

To the Ostrander family, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend,”Cowboy”. Please accept my sincere condolences. Don was a co-worker, friend and mentor. He had a good heart and always offered sound advice, business and personal. We shared lots and lots of laughs and always had a good time together. He will be truly missed by all who knew him. God bless.
