In Loving Memory of Sharon Adel Gamache (Kuchka)  

March 12, 1947 – November 12, 2024 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Sharon Adel Gamache, surrounded by her loving family on November 12, 2024, following a series of health challenges. Sharon was 77 years old.  

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with her family: her sons, Jeff and Mike Gamache, daughter-in-law Liz Gamache, grandchildren Caroline and Joshua Gamache; her daughter, Dawne Gamache (Jack), and granddaughter Addyson. Sharon was preceded in death by her beloved siblings, Joanne, Don, and John Kuchka.  

For over 40 years, Sharon was a dedicated waitress who found great joy in greeting her customers and making them feel at home. Her creativity and love for the holidays shone brightly as she decorated the restaurant each season, spreading cheer to all who visited. She also had a passion for making vibrant flower planters in the spring and summer, bringing beauty to her surroundings.  

Sharon was known for her fun-loving, adventurous spirit and wasn’t afraid to embrace her “wild child” side. Her family fondly referred to her as “Baddy Grandma,” a name she carried with pride as she made every moment with her loved ones unforgettable.  

Outside of work, Sharon found fulfillment in volunteering to transport animals in need and bringing her compassionate spirit to those around her. But above all, her greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren, whom she loved to spoil. Her warmth, laughter, and love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.  

Sharon’s life was a testament to love, creativity, and selfless giving. As we celebrate her remarkable journey, let us carry her memory in our hearts and continue to honor her by spreading kindness and joy to others.  

A celebration of Sharon’s life will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2025, from noon to 3:00 PM at Pilot Pete’s in Schaumburg. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Hoof Woof & Meow or any local animal shelter of your choice in Sharon’s honor.  

Rest in peace, Sharon. You will be forever loved and remembered.
