Pain does not always need to be corrected or explained. Before offering advice, we can offer ourselves: attentive, patient, and willing to remain beside someone in what cannot yet be fixed.

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” — Romans 12:15

The free weekly devotional in our bio creates another quiet space to be present with God.

Linda S. Shenfeld

Linda S. (Newhouse) Shenfeld, 76, Lower Swatara Township, passed away peacefully with her loving family at her side on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Hershey Medical Center.

Born July 8, 1950, in Hershey, she was the daughter of the late William J. and Marguerite R. (Kemerer) Newhouse and was also preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Michelle “Shelly”; and her siblings: Ruth Ann Heisey, Beulah Brown, Wilson Newhouse, Edward Newhouse and William Newhouse.

Linda was raised in Stoverdale, where she attended the church and school. It was in school that she first met her future husband, Donald, whom she married in July 1969. A hard worker, she was employed for years by Hesteco Dress and Sportswear Manufacturing Company before working for Reese’s for over 22 years until her retirement. She was a social member of the Highspire VFW and LOVED watching Tik Tok videos and buying suggested products. Linda loved working around her yard and house, making it a home where everyone was welcome.

Mostly, Linda (or “Lin”) cherished time spent with her family, especially every moment with her precious great grandson, Beckham. She was amazing and supportive of her children and raised them with a great work ethic and integrity. Throughout the years, as she battled health challenges, Linda showed everyone what a determined fighter she was, with spirit and humor facing every obstacle.

Surviving is her loving husband, Donald E. Shenfeld, Sr. (or “Shenny”, as she called him), her two children: Donald E. Shenfeld, Jr. (and his wife, Paula) and Melissa A. Fessenden (and her husband, Rick); her siblings: Bob Newhouse, Karen Newhouse (and Barb Ma**er) and Paul Newhouse (and his wife, Gail); her grandson: Dustin M. Shenfeld; her great grandson: Beckham, and many nieces and nephews, including JoAnn Schaffner, BJ Schaffner, Patti Obenstine and Buzz Obenstine, who are a great help to their uncle Don.

A celebration of her life will be held from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm Saturday, January 16, 2027, at the Highspire VFW, 498 High St, Highspire, PA 17034 for family and friends to reminisce about Linda and share stories.

Contributions are encouraged to be made to Don to cover her funeral costs.

Enrique will be remembered as a reserved, loving, and caring man whose sense of humor brought warmth and laughter to those around him. He found happiness in life’s simple pleasures, especially watching wrestling, spending time with family and friends, and tinkering with things.

Enrique retired from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation after 18 years of dedicated service. Throughout his working years, he was known for the same commitment and dependability that defined so much of his life.

He is also survived by his sister, Maria Monserrate Montes Arroyo, and his brothers, Abel Montes Arroyo and Eliud Montes Arroyo. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, who will carry his memory forward with love.

He was preceded in death by his father, Felix DeJesus Montes; his mother, Esperanza Arroyo Cordero; his brother, Gilberto Arroyo; his sisters, Maria Esther Montes Arroyo and Francisca Montes; his brothers, Moises Montes Arroyo and Cesar Augusto Montes Arroyo; and his granddaughter, Nina Heredia.

A short reply or a tired expression rarely tells us the whole story. Someone may be grieving, worn down, or doing their best to get through a difficult day. We do not have to know every detail to offer patience.

Colossians 3:12 calls us to compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience. Before deciding what someone's behavior means, leave a little room for what you do not know.

Hard days can narrow our attention until pain seems like the only thing present. Gratitude gently widens the frame... not to deny what hurts, but to notice that grace is still arriving in ordinary ways.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17
