Sharon Park Obituary

Sharon Park
October 12, 2025
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Sharon Lee Park, who left peacefully on the morning of October 12, 2025.
She was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, daughter, and friend whose kindness and spirit touched all who knew her.
Sharon was born in Seattle, on March 6,1947 to Dick and Betty Park. The family moved to Brewster, WA where she spent a significant part of her life. She shared an adventurous childhood with her sister Madelyn and brother Ritchie. Together they spent their days fishing, camping, swimming, and enjoyed the community of small-town living. Her family planted and nurtured an apple orchard on Brewster Flats, which is where she learned about hard work and dedication. She married Ken Schutter in 1965 and together they raised two beautiful daughters, Tawni and Shauna who brought her a lifetime of joy.
Sharon was a mother who cared deeply and was very involved in her daughters' activities. Her intelligence, integrity and strong work ethic helped her build a career in city government. Later in life she moved to Spokane, WA to be near her daughter Shauna. She loved traveling, shopping, Alta Lake, dancing, treasure hunting for antiques and decorating for holidays! Above all the most important thing to her was her family.
Sharon will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.
She is survived by her daughter, Tawni (Chris); sister, Madelyn; niece, Nannette (Jerry); children, Ashley (Tanner) and Dane (Alexis); nephews, Donnie (Michele); and daughter, Marie; along with nephews, Darrell and Rich Park (Tricia) and son, Richard.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 1 to 3 p.m. at the Union Hill Cider Company, located at 3126 Ridgeway Dr, East Wenatchee, WA 98802. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and honor the beautiful life she lived.

Nearly 60 years ago a young boy received a kind gesture of support from a caring woman that would have a lasting impression over a lifetime. That young boy would be me, and the caring woman, my cousin Sharon. I found myself in a situation where my actions caused grief and major concern potentially impacting members of our family. The cause was highly technical
equipment, and the affect, how it triggered my curiosity for how it all operated. I fell victim to my curiosity and it did me in. I was asked over and over again by parental adults why I did what I did, but my answer was always the same and always unacceptable, I don´t know. The guilt I felt was horrible and I was very scared for what I had done, not really understanding the consequences of this traumatic event. Adult figures were either angry or silent, except for the
one person who came to my rescue with kindness, understanding, and compassion. That was Sharon and she stepped up all alone trying to explain to adults why I did what I did and was not the careless and disobedient kid I was being made out to be. There was a rational explanation for the behavior and it took a young woman to point it out. Sharon was smart beyond her
years. Her intervention helped from what could have been a scaring episode of my life. Years later as an adult I thanked Sharon for what she did and let her know the impact it had on me. It is funny the things we remember that happen during early stages of our lives and what stands out years later. I will never forget what Sharon did for me so very, very long ago.
