With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Sharon 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, with the time from 1:00pm 3:00pm 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. Sharon — Mom — you will forever be in our hearts. We love you and will never forget you. Rest in peace.
