Theron E. “Jim” Cline, 85, of Hanover, loving husband of Phyllis Rohrbaugh Cline, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 21, 2019 at Select Specialty Hospital in Camp Hill with his family by his side.
Born on Saturday, June 10, 1933 in Hanover, he was a son of the late Nevin J.A. and Treva Mummert Cline. He was a 1951 graduate of Eichelberger High School and later served with the US Army’s Signal Corps during the Korean War.

In addition to his wife of nearly 67 years, he is survived by a daughter, Allison Cline Saia and her husband, Dan, of Hanover; and two grandsons whom he considered his pride and joy, Holden Jones of Seattle, WA and Harrison Jones of Hanover.
