August 11, 1928 - March 23, 2021

Shirley J. Zartman, 92, passed away peacefully on Tuesday night, March 23, 2021 at the St. Joseph Health System in Plymouth.

Shirley was born on August 11, 1928 to Dolph and Lila (Miller) Strang.

It was in Tyner schools that she met her one true love, Carroll “Jerry” Emerson Zartman. The two graduated from Tyner High School and became bride and groom in the Tyner United Methodist Church on June 12, 1949 and celebrated 67 years together.

Shirley taught Title I reading and math for 18 ½ years at Urey and Walkerton Elementary.

She enjoyed sewing, quilting, gardening and baking.

She was a lifetime member of Tyner United Methodist Church and a 72-year member of the Tyner Rebekah Lodge No. 865.

Shirley loved being involved in and supporting her children’s lives and many activities. Her dear family includes daughter Susan (Greg) Doll of Lawton, MI and children: Alex (Jessica) Doll and Sarah (Ed) Rudell; son Randy (Julie) Zartman of Indianapolis and children: Austin and Jackson; daughter Lisa Paczkowski of Brownsburg and children: Hannah and Lucy; and son Cary Zartman of Chicago, Ill. Her four great-grandchildren include: Hudson, Hatcher, Addison and Emerson Grace. One sister-in-law survives, Jane Zartman of Ft. Wayne, along with many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Carroll in 2016; her parents; and brothers, Durwood and Earl Strang.

Graveside services will be held on Monday, March 29, 2021 at 2 p.m. at Tyner Cemetery, Tyner with Pastor Dennis Soule officiating. A memorial rite will be provided at 2 p.m. by members of the Rebekah Lodge No. 865.

    Lisa, Cary, Susan, and Randy,

    We all loved your mom and dad so much. Your mom was so funny, I used to sit by her in the Church Choir; Her and Sally Bottorff, oh my goodness such wonderful memories. I remember she would get us in trouble for talking and goofing around, and she would nudge me and say pay attention. We all would laugh louder!! Hugs to you all and just know how much your mom was loved. A happy, loving memory she will always be.

    Love,
    Karla Muncie

    I am so sorry to hear Shirley had passed. What a sweetheart. We would chit chat when I would see her when she would get her hair done. She would talk about how her kids and grands were. She loved her family and was so proud. Such a gem. Diane Gjemre Johnson

    Shirley & Jerry were two wonderful friends of mine and Carole’s. Shirley and Jerry made a great couple that we enjoyed so much. Thank you for your years of service to the administration, teachers and students at Walkerton Elementary. We enjoyed your friendship at the Tyner church, school, and throughout the community. You were loved by all, and will be greatly missed.

    Dear Susan, Greg, Randy, and all the Zartman-Doll family members. Sorry for your loss and the passing of you mother. She was a delightful Lady and always had a smile. I know the feeling when you lose both your parents, and there is an emptiness, but cherish all the precious memories that you have with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Tom McGee

    Shirley and Jerry were a great support to me in my first stint as a pastor in Tyner, 1982-1985. They were also great fun. My best to all their wonderful family.
