William Shebaugh Obituary
William Peter "Pete" Shebaugh, 85, a longtime resident of Taylor, passed away Friday morning, June 17, 2022, after an illness.
Pete was preceded in death Feb. 6, 2011, by his beloved wife of 40 years, Marie Phillips Shebaugh.
Born Aug. 23, 1936, and raised in Gouldsboro, Pete was the son of the late George and Mary Zara Shebaugh and a Taylor High School graduate.
Before his retirement, he was a skilled self-employed photographer.
A faithful Roman Catholic, he was a longtime member of Prince of Peace Parish in Old Forge, specifically St. Lawrence O'Toole Church prior to its closure, and he was also a member of the UNICO National Scranton Chapter.
To know Pete was to love him. His smile was memorable; he will forever be missed.
He is survived by several nephews, nieces and cousins.
He was also preceded in death by his only son, Charles Shebaugh, on Feb. 22, 2015; and a brother, John "Jake" Shebaugh, Blakely.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday in St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Prince of Peace Parish in Old Forge, to be celebrated by the Rev. August A. Ricciardi, pastor, with burial to follow. Family and friends may pay their respects from 9 a.m. to service time at the church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Pete's name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, c/o 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
