Rosemary Shustack Obituary

Rosemary Shustack, 72, of Shenandoah, died peacefully Monday, Jan. 3, 2022.

Born in Circleville, Ohio, she was the second oldest of six children of the late Thurman and Rose Ford.

Also preceding was her stepfather, Leo Slecton.

She is survived by her husband, Robert Shustack; her children, who made up the entirety of her world, Randy Shustack and his wife, Lisa, of Barnesville, and Deana (Shustack) Wasser and her husband, Robert, of Shenandoah; her grandchildren, Garrett Wasser, Noah Shustack, Chase Shustack and Madison Wasser. Also surviving are her brothers, Bruce Ford, Thomas Ford and his wife, Diane, and Leo Slecton and his wife, Tracey; her sisters, Annette Pronio and her husband, Mark, and Sandy Kowalick and her husband, Paul; many nieces and nephews.

She is a graduate of Shenandoah Valley High School, Class of 1966.

Rosemary loved talking with friends, siblings and relatives. She enjoyed shopping and had a knack for interior decorating. But most of all, her true passion was caring for and spending time with her family. Rosemary devoted her entire life to her family, especially her children and grandchildren. There was never a day that went by where she didn't proudly boast about each one of them. Rosemary leaves her family, her children and grandchildren an abundance of loving memories filled with laughter and joy they will cherish forever. Rosemary was beloved by many and will be greatly missed.

Burial will be held at the convenience of the family. Oravitz Home for Funerals Inc., Shenandoah, have been entrusted with handling the arrangements. Please visit www.oravitzhomeforfunerals.com.
