Obituary for Terry R. Schwartz
Terry R. Schwartz, 67, of Chambersburg, PA, passed away Wednesday, July 3, 2019, at the Chambersburg Hospital. Born May 11, 1952, in Chambersburg, he was a son of the late Walter “Jake” Schwartz and Doris Reeder Schwartz.
A United States Marine, Terry served his country honorably during the Vietnam Conflict. He was a machine operator at Ingersoll Rand. A faithful Christian, he enjoyed worshipping with Pastor Hege on TV and at the Grand Point Church.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Tara Robertson in 2006, as well as two brothers.
