Edward Shampney Sr

Edward Shampney Sr., 81, of Warner, New Hampshire, passed away on June 30, 2026. Born June 5, 1945, to William and Mary Shampney, Ed was the youngest of six boys. From the age of seven and his brother Harry were lovingly raised by their adopted parents Lou and Shryl Robertson, who became central figures in his life.

A long-term resident of Warner, Ed dedicated more than forty years to the town highway department as a skilled equipment operator and was a lifetime member of the Warner Fish and Game Club enjoying the kids fishing derby with his family. His home-affectionately known as "The Hill"-was the heart of his world. It was there he built a life with the love of his life, his wife Chicky (Marlene), and raised their four boys.

Ed was predeceased by his parents William and Mary; Lou and Shryl Robertson; his wife Chicky; his son Randy Sr.; and his brothers Harry, Fred, Joe, Bill, John.

He is survived by his sons: Edward (Eddie) Jr., Roger (and wife Bonnie), and Michael. He leaves behind grandchildren Andrew, Randy Jr., Steven, Kristina, Michelle, and Jay along with nephews, nieces, cousins, and countless friends who were part of the community he created.

Ed was known for creating a place where anyone could show up exactly as they were. Generous at heart, he helped anyone in need-yet he carried an equally stubborn streak, where no meant no and traditions were honored without exception. He loved a house full of friends on Friday and Saturday nights, urging them to stay for "another beer" because you can't fly on one wing. His stories of younger days and wild adventures were legendary, and when asked what he was up to, his answer was always the same: "just dubbin."

Ed had a sweet tooth for homemade whoopie pies and apple crisp-always insisting on his own batch so he'd have plenty to enjoy. He found joy in gardening, sharing the harvest with friends and family throughout the season.

Ed is deeply missed. His legacy-rooted in generosity, community, humor, and steadfast love-will live on in all who knew him.

A graveside service will be held at New Waterloo Cemetery in Warner, NH on Wednesday, July 8th at 10:00 a.m.
