Michael E. Albright, 70
January 27, 1952 - January 25, 2023
Michael E. Albright, 70, passed away peacefully on Wednesday January 25, 2023 in Lancaster, PA after a lengthy illness. He was born on January 27, 1952 in Lancaster to the late Leroy R. Albright, Jr. and the late Helen M. (Sipe) Albright. He has been with the love of his life, Suzanne J. Albright, for 42 years. They were married on October 18, 1985, just recently celebrating 37 years of marriage.

He graduated from J. P. McCaskey High School and proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, he was always faithful till the end (Oorah!) and a life member of the Amvets Post 19. He worked for the Norfolk Southern Corporation (formerly Conrail) for 31 years before retiring in 2006.

Mike was a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan and loved to "ride like the wind" on his beloved Harley Davidson motorcycle. He also loved westerns and old tv programs like Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, and Bonanza, just to name a few. He never missed an opportunity to get a groan out of one of his children or grandchildren when he turned on an episode "he's never seen before". (He always said that even though he'd seen them all many many times). Mike loved to play pool, he was known to be pretty good at it. Some his favorite times were when he'd get together with his brother Terry, and buddies George and Randy for a weekly game at Terry's house.

His greatest joy in life was being a Pappy. He cooked the most delicious breakfasts and made sure everyone had whatever they wanted or needed as soon as they walked in the door. Always putting others first. He was a kind and generous man, always willing to lend a hand to someone in need whether it was a friend or a complete stranger.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his four children, Jason I. Albright (Vera), Chad M. Albright, Andrew D. Myers, and Kristen A. Insinga. He is also survived by four grandchildren, Kayla L. Kaylor (Caleb), Lucy N. Myers (Dakota), Zachary A. Myers, Audrey J. Myers and two great grandchildren, Cole Michael Kaylor and Charlotte Ann Kaylor. Mike is also survived by a sister, Sandra A. Souders (William), and a brother, Terry L. Albright (Brenda), along with many nieces and nephews who adored their Uncle Mike.

Mike's family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and staff at Gentiva Hospice for the exceptional love and care they provided for him. We now know there are angels on earth by way of these amazing and compassionate people.

Mike's wishes were to not have a funeral service so a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later time.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Gentiva Hospice Foundation, 1891 Santa Barbara Drive, Ste 201, Lancaster, PA 17601
