Mary A. Shambach
Mary Alice Shambach, Kissimmee Rd, Middleburg went home to her Lord and Savior on Thursday, May 8, 2025 in the WellSpan Evangelical Emergency department. Born on Jan. 7, 1949, in Franklin Township, Snyder County, Mary was the daughter of the late Donald and Jean (Hackenberg) Shambach.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents and three siblings, Kenneth I. Betsker, Earl G. Bowersox and Lorraine K. Long. She is survived by two sister-in-laws, Donna Betsker and Nancy Bowersox; one brother-in-law, Ivan Long; two nieces, Michelle (Bill) Romig and Faye J Betsker and three great-nephews, Zach, Adam and Noah Romig.
Mary worked many years as a seamstress at Hi-Li, Inc in Penns Creek until their closing. She was proud to be a Foster Grandparent with the Midd-West School District and worked at various schools in the district until her health deteriorated earlier this year.
Mary was a kind soul who took life at face value and had an inner strength greater than many. She loved eating out especially if it involved coffee ice cream. She could spend hours talking on the phone with various family and friends and she was always up for any road trips with her family. When at home, she enjoyed doing word search puzzles and watching old Westerns.
The services will be held at the Hummel's Funeral Home, Middleburg, on Monday, May 12, 2025, with the viewing at 1 p.m. and the funeral at 2 p.m. Burial will be at the Zion Fellowship cemetery immediately following the services.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
