Marie L. Sharka



Marie L. Sharka, 91, of Traverse City, passed away Sunday Oct. 17, 2010, in the presence of her loving family, at the Grand Traverse Pavilions. Marie was born to Joseph and Anna Yarosh on November 11, 1918.
She married Edward Sharka on December 8, 1942.
Marie was a talented musical and visual artist who declined scholarships to art school so that she could support her family during the Depression and World War II. Marie was devoted to her family, taking special delight in her young great grand children.
Her grandchildren recall happy summers at "The Cottage" where Marie patiently taught them to dry, press and arrange flowers. Marie was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Edward, and her
sister Helen Baker. She is survived by her brother
Joseph (Violetta) Yarosh, her sister Rose Galecki, her daughter Joanne Butt, her son (she would not have like him to be called her "son in law") Munawar Butt, her son Rodney (Myrtle) Sharka, grand children Corinna (Patrick) Dewey, Sarah (Fulvio) Lonardo, Shaun Butt,; and great grand children Rebecca & Anna Dewey, Maria Giuseppina Lonardo and Franchesco Lonardo. Marie’s family offers heartfelt thanks to those who lovingly cared for Marie during her stay at Grand Traverse Pavilions . A funeral mass will be held at 2:00 October 20 at St. Patrick Catholic Church, with burial at Oakwood Catholic Cemetery immediately following mass. Visitation will begin at 1:00 pm at the Church. Memorial contributions in Marie's honor may be directed to the Grand Traverse Pavillions.
The family is being served by Reynolds Jonkhoff Funeral HOme.
