Board Member: Parker Shambaugh (2027)

My name is Elmer Shambaugh.  Most of my friends call me Parker (my middle name).  I have lived in East Pennsboro Twp. for 15 years residing in the Townes of Floribunda.  My wife Dixie and I have 5 children.

Born on a small farm south of Carlisle I attended the South Middleton Twp. schools.  After graduating from High School I attended Lebanon Valley College graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  Following my college experience, I attended United Theological Seminary graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity degree.  After graduating from seminary, I was ordained as an Elder in the Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) Church, and served as pastor of the New Bloomfield EUB Charge.

After leaving the ministry I worked as a Computer Specialist for the Federal Government, starting my career at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, continuing my career at Gunter Air Force Station in Montgomery, Alabama, completing my thirty seven (37) year career at the Mechanicsburg Navy Depot in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

In 2008 we moved to East Pennsboro Twp. where my wife and I have lived a very contented life.  We attend Christ Community Church in Mechanicsburg.  My wife and I volunteered at Bethesda Mission for eight (8) years receiving the “Green Cross” award in 2012 for service to that institution, helping those struggling with addition to lead a productive life.
