Sharee Rosalin Creech Shermer went to be with our Heavenly Father on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at the age of 82. She left this world peacefully with family at her bedside. She resided in Fredericksburg, TX prior to her illness. Born May 6, 1932 in Indianapolis, IN, she was twice a medical miracle in her lifetime. She survived a near fatal accident in 1940 at the young age of eight, having been struck by an automobile. In the latter part of her life, she defeated the odds again and survived more than four years after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2010, and given only months to live. She attributed her miraculous life to the protection of God and her devotion to the Catholic faith. Sharee was talented in both the visual and performing arts. She enjoyed working in many different mediums. In later years, she created inspirational watercolor pencil drawings of Native Americans. Her works won her many amateur awards. Most recently in 2012, when she was awarded Best of Show, 2nd Place and Honorable Mention in the juried ArtAbility Senior Art Show in San Antonio, for her drawing titled, "Captured Spirits". Professionally trained as both a pianist and in voice as a soprano, she enjoyed singing in her church choir and performing in productions with the Fredericksburg Theater Company. A faith filled follower of the Lord, Sharee is greeted in death by her parents, James and Dorothy Creech, her son, Daniel Glen Shermer, and several dear friends. She leaves her loving memory to be cherished by her three surviving sons: Dayton D. Shermer III Debbie, David G. Shermer, and Brian J. Shermer; and her five daughters: Karyn Shermer Saner, Terese Shermer, Laurel Shermer Walker Tam, Angel Shermer Merry James, and DeDe Shermer Albus Stan. Her children blessed her with 23 grandchildren, 37 great grandchildren and one great, great grandson, born three weeks ago. Her three constant pet companions: Herbie, Nimi and Kissie, will miss her. A memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, September 20, 2014 beginning with a rosary at 9:30am in the Old St. Mary's Catholic Church in Fredericksburg, followed by a family celebration of her life in the Holy Family Center. Sharee was cremated at the Mission Park Funeral Chapels in San Antonio, and will be returned to one of her favorite places in nature in a private family gathering at a later date. Floral condolences for family may be sent to: c/o 515 Aviation Ave., Schertz, TX. Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Vincent de Paul Society or to Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Fredericksburg.
