Jean Elizabeth (Haverstock) Wambaugh, 95 of Dallastown, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, on Sunday, November 18 at Colonial Manor. She was the beloved wife of Charles B. Wambaugh for more than 71 years until his passing in 2017.

Mrs. Wambaugh was born in Adams County on October 10, 1923 and was the daughter of the late Mervin and Mamie (Wildasin) Haverstock.

Jean was a 1941 graduate of East Berlin High School. She worked for Western Union until she married and then became a dedicated homemaker – a role she truly enjoyed as she cared for her husband, daughter, son and eventually her four grandchildren. Jean enjoyed cooking, baking and gardening. She was a longtime member of Spry Church. Jean will be deeply  missed by her family and all who knew her.

She is survived by her daughter, Rebecca L. Barshinger and her husband Kenneth of Dallastown; her four grandchildren, Lisa Miller, Kenneth Barshinger and his wife Christina, Benjamin Barshinger and his wife Janice and Cathi Hicks and her husband Scott; 17 great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her son, Charles B. Wambaugh, Jr.

A funeral service to honor Jean's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, November 28 at Spry Church, 50 School St., York, PA 17402, with the Rev. Dr. Ken Loyer officiating.   A viewing will be held at the church on Wednesday and will begin at 10:00 AM until the start of the service. Interment will follow in Otterbein Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that contributions in Jean's name be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation.
