August 21, 1953 – September 2, 2024
Sharen Kay Ritchie, 71, Carmel, was called to her heavenly home on September 2, 2024. She was born on August 21, 1953, in Washington State. As a young girl she moved to California where she resided until she was an adult. Sharen was preceded in death by her mother.
Sharen loved God from the time she was a child. This love of Christ led her to move to Ohio where she could help spread the Gospel of Christ to those around her. She served in ministry in Ohio for several years before settling in Indiana. Throughout her life, Sharen worked in several service and sales industries. At the age of 12, she actually managed a hotel! After moving to Indiana, Sharen worked as head cashier at the Carmel Marsh on the night shift. This would make perfect sense as Sharen was a night owl! She retired from Marsh and began cleaning homes and churches. She took great pride in her work.
Sharen had a wonderful sense of humor and genuinely loved all the people in her life. In the Spring of 2023, Sharen became a faithful member of Faith Apostolic Church and will be greatly missed by the entire congregation.
A Worship Service and Celebration of Sharen’s life was held Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at Faith Apostolic Church, 1212 E. 116th St., Carmel.
One of the greatest joys in Sharen’s life was generously giving her offering to support the missionaries who would continue spreading the Gospel of Christ to many foreign lands. Each week she looked forward to attending church, especially on Sundays.
In lieu of flowers, and in honor and memory of Sharen, please consider donating to the same missionaries that Sharen supported. This can be done by sending a check to Faith Apostolic Church. In the memo line, include missionaries.
Bussell Family Funerals is privileged to care for Sharen.
