Jeffrey Kenneth Herr, known to family and friends as Jeff, passed away on November 29, 2025, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Jeff grew up in New Holland, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Garden Spot High School in 1965. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Special Education from Millersville College. Jeff dedicated his career to teaching, beginning at Brecknock Elementary School. He later lived for many years in the Langhorne area, where he taught at Briston Township School District and other area schools, serving children with special needs for 35 years until his retirement in 2004. Jeff loved bringing people together. He was happiest hosting gatherings, especially swim parties at his home, and he was known for his generosity and for giving gifts to everyone. He loved to cook, garden, read, draw, and listen and dance to Motown music. Ocean City, New Jersey, held a special place in his heart, and he spent many summers there at the shore from the time he was a child.
