Kathleen Ann Scherr

SCHERR, Kathleen Ann. November 4, 2024. Age 85. Beloved mother of Kelly Ann Scherr, Karen (Brian) Wismer, and Colleen (Olivier) Calas. Proud and adored grandmother of Kyle, Wendy, Catherine, Clare (Stephen), Kerry, Luke, Sophie, Lucie, and great grandmother of Boone. Dear sister of Michael (Carol) Sullivan, and Judith (the late Don) Kolke. Treasured aunt of many loving nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her first husband, Ronald C. Scherr, and her second husband, James Plutschuck. Kathleen was a radiant spirit for whom it was second nature to give of herself in service to others. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, celebrating life’s milestones while always graciously offering an extra pair of hands for whatever needed to be done. Kathleen had a love of nature and animals, and found happiness in growing many varieties of flowers, plants and vegetables throughout many years of her life. She was an ardent supporter of animal welfare organizations and her house was always home to one or more furry friends. Kathleen was also a creative soul, expressing her talents with drawing, painting, sculpture and many assorted crafting projects. Her hand-drawn illustrations on greeting cards delighted family and friends, as did the heartfelt and humorous notes of advice, wisdom, love and caring that often accompanied them. As a devoted servant of Christ, Kathleen found joy in nurturing her faith and sharing it with others. She was a member of the St. David Secular Franciscans, devoted to following the Gospel through the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. She took part in the group’s activities and also worked for a time at the Capuchin Retreat Center, in Washington Township, Michigan, where she enjoyed the beauty and peacefulness of the natural setting and the camaraderie of the Friars and staff. Kathleen was also an active member of the St. Isadore parish, serving on the Altar Society for 10 years, where she formed friendships and enjoyed participating in many service activities, including the annual Strawberry Festival, rummage sale, bake sales and cake walks. She also lived her faith through outreach activities to evangelize others, actively praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and taking part in missions to help feed and clothe the poor and underserved. Her heart was especially full when spending time with family, friends and neighbors – siblings, children, grandchildren, spouses, friends, nieces, nephews and extended family. Kathleen's legacy is one of creativity, love, service to Christ and a profound connection to the beauty of life, both in nature and in the hearts of those she touched.
