Monica Ann VanSchoick ,71, passed away at her home on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at 2:42 pm. She was born February 15, 1952, to Leslie and Lucille (Iverson) Sachow.

Monica attended Wadena High School in Minnesota where she graduated and went on to attend Ivy Tech Community College. She worked many jobs throughout her life including Goodwill where she received an award for being employee of the year. She also worked at several gas stations and restaurants.   

Monica was a member of the “Clubhouse” in Kokomo, and she loved picking up responsibilities and helping others there. She was a member of Crossroads Community Church, where she was a devoted member. She helped serve in the kitchen and loved the Lord deeply and those around her. She was a gifted artist and loved creating art by drawing and painting. She was a very loving mother who was proud of her sons. She will be dearly missed by both her sons.

Survivors include her sons, Michael VanSchoick and Matthew (Meredith) VanSchoick; grandchildren, Spencer VanSchoick, Brianna VanSchoick, Evan VanSchoick, Logan VanSchoick, and Elise VanSchoick; sister, Marry (Sam) Phillips; and close friends, Kelly and Rita, who were as scripture says. Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many friends may come to ruin, but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.” These two friends were truly loving and compassionate, always there in both good times and bad. And last but not least, her family member, and companion, who shared such a strong bond with Monica, her dog “Itty”

Proceeding her in death were her parents and her brother, Gregg Sachow.
