Denise F. Sheddy, 63 passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 19, 2025.
Denise was born on August 26, 1961 in Chicago to the late Harry & Rose (Morales) Sheddy. She was a loving and caring person, a devoted partner, sister, aunt and friend. She leaves behind her long time partner, Maria Villarreal, her sister Michelle (Larry) Dudzik, and brother Harry. She was a loving Aunt to Jamie (Michael) Adcock, Danielle Sheddy, Mary Ellen Sheddy, Matthew Dudzik and Alexis Sheddy. She was a loving Great Aunt to Jeremy Adcock, Alexander Adcock, Kaden Sheddy and Aliyah Veles. She was a loving "Sista" to Sally Pegausch.
She will be sorely missed by family and her many cousins and friends.
She thoroughly enjoyed retirement, spending time with her "littles", and the peacefulness she found at her trailer in Woodhaven Lakes.
There will be a memorial visitation on Thursday, August 28th from 3:00p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Central Chapel, 6158 South Central Avenue, Chicago IL. Internment will be on Friday, August 29th at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, 87th Street and Hamlin Avenue in Evergreen Park, IL
