Paul Evan Sanderlin, 84, of Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at Masonic Village. Born March 19, 1941, in Manhattan, New York, he was the son of the late Earl and Ella Sanderlin. A proud New Yorker, Paul carried his steady work ethic and quiet strength throughout his life.

As a young man, Paul was an avid golfer and worked as a caddy at Bethpage. The lessons he learned on the course-discipline, patience, and respect for the game-shaped the way he approached both his career and his relationships.

Paul built his professional life in New York City. He worked for a preventive maintenance company servicing escalators and elevators throughout the city, overseeing work at several landmark properties, including Shea Stadium. He later worked for the Coupling Corporation of America, where he was a highly respected salesperson providing specialized nuclear couplings within the nuclear energy industry. He was known for his professionalism, knowledge, and integrity.

After retirement, Paul made his home at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown. He was a longtime member of several fellowships and cared deeply about helping others. He will be remembered for his steady presence, thoughtful spirit, and the many lives he touched along the way.

Paul was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Margaret.

In accordance with Paul's wishes, he will be cremated and laid to rest privately beside his wife. No public services will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Masonic Children's Home of Pennsylvania, Office of Gift Planning, 1 Masonic Dr, Elizabethtown, PA 17022.
