Sharon (Shari) Marie Schadek went to be with the Lord surrounded by her loving family on July 6, 2023. She is the daughter of Raymond Cecil and the late Marie Elizabeth Thompson (Morrey).
Shari was born in Dowagiac, Michigan on March 31, 1962. She attended Oregon-Davis High School where she was an honor student and tremendous athlete, graduating in 1980. Her determination and hard work in these areas enabled her to find success later in life in the insurance and banking sectors. She married the love of her life, David (Dave) Schadek on November 18, 1989. Shari and Dave enjoyed playing and watching sports and spending time with those they love. She took great joy in life’s simple pleasures, being with family and being a gracious host. There was nothing she enjoyed more than creating delicious meals and hosting gatherings for family and friends. She had a very warm heart, and it was felt by all. Her loving and caring demeanor lived out in her boundless willingness to help others, always offered with joy and kindness. It was her quiet inner strength that balanced the family and brought the best out in every life she touched.
She is preceded in death by her mother, Marie Elizabeth Thompson, but her memory lives on in those who love her most. She is survived by her husband of 33 years Dave Schadek of Plymouth, IN, sons David Schadek Jr (Carrie) of Plymouth, IN, Brandon Schadek (Susie) of Plymouth, IN, and Derek Schadek (Nicole) of Westfield, IN. She took great pride in her grandchildren, David, Allyson, Taylor, Ryleigh, Owen, Zoey, and Levi Schadek. She loved them with her whole heart, and they loved their “Shar Shar.” She is also survived by her father, Raymond Thompson of Koontz Lake Walkerton, IN, sisters Patti Minix (Doyle) of Fort Wayne, IN, and Kathleen Thompson of Koontz Lake Walkerton, IN, and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Visitation with friends and family will be held from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan Street, Plymouth, Indiana.
