Duey E. Peiffer, 83, of Lebanon, PA, passed away peacefully in his home with family by his side on January 17, 2026. He was born on April 30, 1942, in Lebanon, PA, to the late William I., Sr., and Claire M. (Early) Peiffer. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Geraldine M. (Royer) Peiffer, whom he married on September 21, 1968.

Duey was a 1960 graduate of Lebanon High School. In 2002, he retired after 25 years of service from Snap-On Tools Corporation. Duey proudly served his country in the PA National Guard. He was a faithful member of South Lebanon Community Church. An avid Penn State and San Francisco 49ers enthusiast, he also had a strong interest in cars. He enjoyed listening to oldies music and was a huge fan of Elvis Presley. Duey was very handy and found pleasure in working on projects around his home and spending time with his grandsons. He was a thoughtful man who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his loving daughter, Anissa (Steve) Hoopes; two grandsons, Ryan Mogel (fiancée Maggie Lynn Cantrell), Jordan Mogel (significant other, Caitlyn Kleinfelter), and great-grandchild, Leighton Mogel. He is also survived by two siblings, Carolyn (Tim) Erdman and William Peiffer, Jr., sisters-in-law, Judy Harpold and Linda Peiffer, and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Kenneth Peiffer.
