December 20, 1958 – September 19, 2022
Marsha K. Went-DeShon, 63, Sheridan, passed away on Monday morning, September 19, 2022, at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Born December 20, 1958, in Lebanon, Ind., she was the daughter of the late Frederick M. “Ted” and Jeanne Pauline (Smith) Vogg.
Marsha attended Sheridan High School and was a loyal member of the KV Elliott American Legion Post 67 Ladies’ Auxiliary.
Marsha was a familiar face in Sheridan. She tended bar and waited tables at Bill and Pat’s on Main Street for 25 years. When ownership of the bar changed hands and changed names, Marsha stayed on, working for the Hovey family for a little while longer. After many years of working in someone else’s establishment, it was finally time to work for herself; and so, together with her husband Tom, Tomarsha’s Deli and Pizzeria was born.
It wasn’t always work, work, work for Marsha. She loved playing golf, frequenting Applebee’s, and just relaxing by the pool in the backyard. She also loved to travel, with some of her favorite destinations being Gatlinburg, Long Lake, and Gulf Shores, but her favorite road trip was always heading up to Chicago to watch the Cubs play. The one thing that could always capture Marsha’s undivided attention was her grandkids.
Marsha is survived by her husband, Thomas Edward DeShon. He and Marsha were married on June 6, 2008. Also surviving is her son, Kennis Ray “Kenny” Went of Sheridan; daughter, Rachel Went-Spencer (fiancé, Eric Himes) of Lafayette; four grandchildren, Corbin Went, Emma Went, Blake Byran, and Cabot Spencer; brothers-in-law, Mike DeShon (Vicki) of Gas City, and Jeffrey Jay Went of Ogden, Utah; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frederick M. “Ted” and Jeanne Pauline (Smith) Vogg; sister, Teresa Vogg Walden; brother, Frederick M. Vogg, Jr.; fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, Meredith and Irene Went, and Wilbur and Martha DeShon; brother-in-law, Christopher S. Went; and by her first husband, Kennis Ray Went on January 1, 2006.
