Sherrey Blad Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
After college, she started her career as a teacher, but found it wasn't her calling so she moved on to what she did love, her family. Her family would say this was her greatest accomplishment, raising a family and being a devoted wife. Sherrey lived her life with purpose, giving freely of her time to her church and working as a librarian and cook at Suburban Bethlehem Lutheran School. In her spare time, Sherrey enjoyed gardening and sewing. After her children were grown, Sherrey took an interest in quilting, making special gifts for those she loved. In all her endeavors, she was happiest when spending time with her husband.
Survivors include husband John; son Timothy Blad of Carmel, Indiana; daughter Carrie Brady (Joe) of Lakewood, Colorado; sister Susan Hughes (Jon) of Cincinnati, Ohio; brother Stephen Zavodny (Judy) of Traverse City, Michigan; eight grandchildren, Christa Blad, Stephen Blad, Jacob Blad, Andrew Brady, Ryan Brady, Blaine Ledbetter, Christian Ledbetter, Carter Ledbetter and many loving nieces, nephews and friends. Sherrey was preceded in death by her father, mother, and daughter-in-law Christina Blad.
A funeral service will take place on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Suburban Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 6318 W. California Road, Fort Wayne, with calling one hour prior to the service. The family will also receive family and friends at the church, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Burial will take place on Thursday at 3:00 p.m. (EST) at Fletcher Cemetery, Hamlet, Indiana.
Memorials may be directed to Suburban Bethlehem Lutheran Church Building Fund.
