Charles “Red” H. Meshey, 91, of Landisville, PA, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, August 4, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Lancaster, PA, Red was the son of the late Florence (Rineer) and Paul Meshey. He was the devoted husband of Shirley (McComsey) Meshey, with whom he shared 72 wonderful years of marriage.

Not one to sit still for long, he continued to stay active in retirement, working part-time at Leisure Lanes for 19 years. Red and Shirley also enjoyed living in Florida for 11 years, making many lasting memories together.

Known for his friendly and outgoing nature, Red was truly a people person. He loved bowling and golfing, took great pride in maintaining his yard, and cherished time spent camping and playing cards with friends and family.

Above all, Red was a family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley; their two children, Beverle Torre (Bartolo) and Bryan Meshey (Lisa), both of Landisville; four grandchildren, Bart, Amanda, Zakery, and Deycon; and his great-granddaughter, Llayla. He was preceded in death by his siblings: Fay Byers, Peggy Kelly, and William Meshey.
