IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Nov 5, 1954 — Mar 21, 2026
Arthur L. Shamburger
November 5, 1954 - March 21, 2026
THE LIFE & LEGACY OF
Arthur Lee
Mr. Arthur Lee Shamburger, a resident of Mobile, AL, was born on November 5, 1954, and passed away on March 21, 2026. Arthur was seventy one years old. He was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel and Aline Shamburger; his only sister, Edna Mae Shamburger; and his granddaughter, Carmen Hunter.
Arthur was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, where he served as a Lance Corporal and worked as a sous chef. Arthur leaves to cherish his memories a devoted wife, Gail Eliane Shamburger; four children, Eric (Felecia) Samuels, Erika Samuels, Samuel Shamburger, and Carlena (Cortez) Hunter; eleven grandchildren; and a host of family and friends.
Arthur was a loving and devoted husband who enjoyed fishing, hunting, cooking, grilling, and spending quality time with his family. He had a strong work ethic and carried himself with confidence—laughing, joking, smiling, and always remaining calm, cool, and collected. Whether working as a chef in the military or as a loyal engineer and transporter for 23 years at Spring Hill Medical Center, Arthur's entire life was dedicated to selflessly serving others.
Arthur was a devout Christian who knew God personally. He consulted Him with unwavering conviction and fervor, always advising that if it is God's will, it will be done. Sipping a morning cup of decaf coffee, watching TikTok videos, and following law and order were some of his favorite pastimes.
Arthur, a giant of a man and the patriarch of our family, made a significant impact on many lives, and he will be deeply missed.
