She had such a positive impact on so many people's lives that her light will be felt forever. She also loved spending time in the outdoors doing such things as salmon fishing, swimming and even coaching her kids in sports.

She quietly departed this life on December 18, 2023, lying in bed in her home in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho surrounded by her Husband Steve Schalk and two children Trevor Schalk and Tanner Schalk.
