Don D. (Donald Duane) Rankin, 93 of Lansdale, Pennsylvania passed away on April 12, 2021. He was the husband of the late Elsie (Morley) Rankin, his wife of 57 years, who passed away in 2004.

He was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and was the son of Don D. (Don Dwight) Rankin and Dorothy (Bracken) Rankin. He grew up in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania and then Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Upon graduation from Bellevue High School, he enlisted in the United States Navy and was an Aviation Machinist’s Mate Third Class in the Naval Air Corps. He was a World War II veteran and a proud supporter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).

He worked in the Worker’s Compensation Insurance industry, first for the Pennsylvania State Workmen’s Insurance Fund in Pittsburgh where he was Western Regional Supervisor, and then for Argonaut Insurance Company where he was Director of Account Services Unit, Claims Management Department. It was while he was working for Argonaut Insurance Company that he was transferred to their Philadelphia office in 1986, and moved to Lansdale, Pennsylvania.

He is survived by his children, Linda Moter, Donna Rankin, Barbara Wind, and Brenda Rankin and her partner Pat Seddon; grandson, Makila Wind, and great-granddaughter, Emma Wind; and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. He is also survived by his sisters, Joanne Midla and Marjorie Pyatt and was preceded in death by his sister, Joyce Yordy and her husband, Karl Yordy, and Joanne Midla’s husband, George Midla. He was also preceded in death by a granddaughter, Elsa Janell Wind.

He was a devoted family man, the best father four daughters could ever have, and all-around handyman around the house and yard, and a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan. His broad smile and keen sense of humor will be greatly missed by both family and friends.

A celebration of Don’s file will be scheduled by the family at a later date.
