In loving memory of

Martha Burns Scheidler
December 31, 1969 - December 31, 1969

Martha Louise ?Marty? Burns Scheidler, 80, of Fishers, passed away Saturday, November 18, 2006, surrounded by her loving family.

Marty was born October 20, 1926, in Hartford City, Indiana, to Mary Casey Burns and William Alonzo Burns, a prominent attorney and Blackford County judge.

On June 11, 1948, Marty married Jerome P. ?Jerry? Scheidler in a double wedding ceremony with her sister Julia Ann Burns and Lt.Col (ret) Wade Shafer. She was a 1944 graduate of Hartford City High School and received her Bachelors degree from her beloved Ball State University in 1948. She taught music and art in the Indianapolis Public School System, retiring in 1983, and was active in the Ball State University Alumni Association, the Ball State Discovery Group, and Tri Kappa Sorority. The greatest joy of ?Nanaw?s? life was her family. Her house is filled with pictures of her children and grandchildren lined up ?on the wall? at their Michigan lake home, documenting the additions of her 18 grandchildren and the growth of all through the years. She loved following the activities of her children and grandchildren, summers in Michigan, multiple arts and crafts, and the company of many old friends. She had an infectious laugh and was always there with words of love and support.

Marty is survived by Jerry, her loving husband of 58 years, one daughter Terry Scheidler Williams (Bob) of Granger; four sons, Mark Scheidler (Kathy) of Fishers, John Scheidler (Jamie) of Indianapolis, Dr. David Scheidler (Capi) of Carmel, and Bill Scheidler (Colleen (Cokie)) of Indianapolis; and two brothers, Dr. John T. Burns (Mary Ann) of West Lafayette, and William Casey Burns (Libby) of Lafayette. She was especially proud of her 18 grandchildren: Jeff, Katie, John Casey, and Danny Williams; Susan and Annie Scheidler; John, Joey and Jimmy Scheidler; Bill, Mike, and Becca Scheidler; and Matthew, Tim, Amy, Julie, Danny, and Sarah Scheidler.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Julia Ann Shafer (Wade) of West Lafayette,

"I am saddened and shocked to hear of Marty's passing. I heard the news after the services on Wednesday and am sorry I could not attend. Marty and Jerry were wonderful neighbors to me on Stratford. I am grateful for knowing you both. Marty was always such a hoot. Walking her dog, working in the yard, leaving corn for the squirrels in the backyard, and always having time for a neighborly conversation. She is a role model to me on how to live life with zest no matter the circumstances.Love,Scott, Kimberly and Family "
