Roger A. Stevens

Roger A. Stevens, 85, of Camp Hill passed away on August 22, 2024, at Carolyn’s House Hospice Residence in Harrisburg, PA. He was born May 11, 1939, in Hancock MD, to Melvin and Ethel (Daniels) Stevens. He grew up in Chambersburg PA, met the love of his life JoAnne (Heiges), they married May 8, 1966, then moved to their home in Camp Hill, PA. Roger then went to work as a large truck painter for The New Harrisburg Truck Body and spent the last few years of his employment with them as a courier, giving 50 total years of work. He was also a member of Camp Hill Church of God. Roger’s favorite pastime was spending time with his antique cars. In the 1960’s, he drag raced his car, then in the early 1970’s he decided to stop drag racing and turned his 1940 Ford Coupe Deluxe into a street rod. Roger, JoAnne and their daughters, Deanna Ritter and Melanie Carroll, spent many weekends attending car shows, from spring to fall, where Roger won many trophies over the years for his 1940 Ford. Later in his life, he acquired his father’s 1952 Chrysler Crown Imperial. He would drive it to car shows and JoAnne would drive his Ford. Some of the clubs he belonged to were AACA, Chrysler Club of America, Gettysburg Region AACA, and Blue Moon Cruisers. He also volunteered his time at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in York Springs and made many friends in his travels. Surviving is his wife of 58 years, JoAnne of Camp Hill, daughters Deanna (Mark) Ritter, of Camp Hill, Melanie (Kevin), of New Cumberland, a sister, Shirley Corso, of Chambersburg, grandchildren Lance Ritter, of Enola, Zoe Ritter, of Camp Hill, and Brendan Carroll, of New Cumberland, as well as a host of nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Eastern Museum of Motor Racing at Latimore Valley Fairgrounds, York Springs, PA, or Hospice of Central Pennsylvania.
