Tiffany Amber Shank

Tiffany Amber Shank, age 39 of Walkerton, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, June 20, 2024.  Tiffany was born September 18, 1984, in South Bend, Indiana to James Perry and Schyrl (Messick) Shank.  She graduated from John Glenn High School and later pursued courses in home health care. With the knowledge she acquired and her compassionate nature, Tiffany cared for her father Perry during his illness. She also served for over 5 years at the MSDC Center, where she became a caregiver for those in need.

Tiffany is survived by her sons, Dustin Kring Jr. and Evan Kring, both of Walkerton, her mother Schryl Shank of Walkerton, her fiancé Rodger Woolet, and her siblings Lori Shank-Thompson of Michigan, James P. (Dawn Baxter) Shank of Mishawaka, Rochelle (Randy) Matthews of LaPaz, and Stephanie (Lewis) Turner of LaPorte.  Her father, James “Perry” Shank preceded her in death in 2019.

Visitation will be held 2 hours prior to the 7:00pm funeral service on Monday, July 1, 2024 at Wells and Cruz Family Funeral Home in Mishawaka with Pastor Wayne Thomas officiating.

Tiffany adored Marilyn Monroe and collected her memorabilia. She had a special fondness for llamas, collecting all sorts of items featuring them, from pictures to stuffed animals. A devoted fan of "The Big Bang Theory," she always laughed when someone sang the "Soft Kitty" song to her. Tiffany was highly respected at work, both by her coworkers and her patients. Above all, she cherished spending time with her family, especially her beloved sons.
