Phyllis Shambaugh Meenan, 82, of Carlisle, died Wednesday, December 9, 2015 at her home.  Born December 24, 1932, in Carlisle, she was the daughter of the late Clarence E. and Ida F. Herman Shambaugh and the widow of M. Clyde Meenan, who died in 1999.

A graduate of Carlisle High School, Class of 1950, she received a B.S. in Education from Shippensburg University and M.Ed. from Pennsylvania State University.  She taught fourth grade in the Carlisle Area School District at Stevens and later at Bellaire schools for 38 years.  She also gave private piano lessons for over 40 years.

She is survived by two step-daughters; Elaine Hanson (Chris) of Pasco, WA, and Avis Kunz of State College; a step-grandson, Michael Kunz of Cleveland, OH, and several cousins, including Judy Kennedy.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 15, 2015 in the Ewing Brothers Funeral Home, 630 S. Hanover St, Carlisle, with Rev.

Dear Family, I have been friends with your wonderful Phyllis since we joined Grace United Methodist Church. We sang in the choir together. I work at Bellaire Elementary School now. She listened to my problems and always gave me heartfelt advice. I will truly miss her. Terri Reisinger.
