Marsha K. Went-DeShon
December 20, 1958 – September 19, 2022
Marsha K. Went-DeShon, age 63, of Sheridan, Indiana, passed away on Monday morning, September 19, 2022, at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
She was born on December 20, 1958, in Lebanon, Indiana, daughter of the late Frederick M. “Ted” and Jeanne Pauline (Smith) Vogg.
Mrs. Went-DeShon attended Sheridan High School and was a loyal member of the KV Elliott American Legion Post 67 Ladies’ Auxiliary.
She was a familiar face in Sheridan. She tended bar and waited tables at Bill and Pat’s on Main Street for 25 years. When ownership of the bar changed hands and changed names, Mrs. Went-DeShon stayed on, working for the Hovey family for a little while longer. After many years of working in someone else’s establishment, it was finally time to work for herself; and so, together with her husband Tom, Tomarsha’s Deli and Pizzeria was born.
It wasn’t always work, work, work for Mrs. Went-DeShon. She loved playing golf, frequenting Applebee’s, and just relaxing by the pool in the back yard. She also loved to travel, with some of her favorite destinations being Gatlinburg, Long Lake, and Gulf Shores, but her favorite road trip was always heading up to Chicago to watch the Cubs play. The one thing that could always capture her undivided attention was her grandkids.
Survivors include her husband Thomas Edward DeShon, to whom she was married on June 6, 2008; son Kennis Ray “Kenny” Went of Sheridan; daughter Rachel Went-Spencer (fiancé, Eric Himes) of Lafayette; four grandchildren Corbin Went, Emma Went, Blake Byran and Cabot Spencer; two brothers-in-law Mike DeShon (Vicki) of Gas City and Jeffrey Jay Went of Ogden, Utah; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents Frederick M. “Ted” and Jeanne Pauline (Smith) Vogg; sister Teresa Vogg Walden; brother Frederick M. Vogg, Jr.; fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law Meredith and Irene Went and Wilbur and Martha DeShon; brother-in-law Christopher S. Went; and by her first husband, Kennis Ray Went, on January 1, 2006.
