Sheren Rowland Haedge, of Corsicana, Texas, passed away peacefully on January 2nd, 2021. She was born Sheren Lee Rowland on July 30, 1939, in Rochester, Minnesota to Leo Harlan Rowland and Harriett Stellmaker Rowland. Sheren moved to Dallas, Texas at age 3, where she attended public school and graduated from Sunset High School in 1957. She was a member of the Sunset High School Bisonettes and the Sunset High School Acapella Choir. She attended The University of Texas at Austin, where she studied Psychology and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, the Acapella Choir, and the Longhorn Singers. She met the love of her life, Rodney Haedge, in Dallas at Tyler Street United Methodist Church where they were married on September 2, 1961. They shared 59 beautiful years.
Sheren and Rodney were blessed with 2 children, Christina and Jason. More loved ones were added, and her life centered around them. She brought into her heart a son-in-law, Scott Thomson, and a daughter-in-law, Katie Callan Haedge. Sheren and Rodney were blessed with 5 wonderful grandsons: Jonathan (21), Timothy (19), Charlie (16), Zachary (15), and Benjamin (12).
She loved gardening, photography, decorating, sewing, quilting, and scrapbooking. She served her church in many roles throughout the years. She was a member of the Adult Choir and was the Chairperson of the Altar Guild at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Baytown. She was a leader of the United Methodist Women (UMW) and a Chairperson of the Fall Harvest Bazaar at First United Methodist Church of Corsicana. She had a strong work ethic. She was the executive secretary to W.D. Wyatt in Corsicana, a Medical Staff Coordinator in Pasadena, and a Real Estate Broker.
Sheren lived a happy and rewarding life. She believed that life was a beautiful ride, she lived every moment, laughed every day, and loved beyond words.
Her legacy lives on through her family and friends. She is survived by her husband, children, grandsons, and sisters-in-law, Karen Barber and Anka Rowland. She is predeceased by her parents, her brother and his wife, Roger and Elizabeth Rowland, and brother-in-law, Daniel Barber.

I'm content with recalling pleasant memories of Sheren Haedge when we were neigbors at the Greenbriar Apartments. She and Rodney were a reassuring foundation for a new junior high kid who had just relocated to Corsicana from deep East Texas. My parents considered them among our best friends. Farewell sweet friend.

I am not on Facebook so I enjoyed watching the wonderful video tribute to Sheren during the service. Fran mentioned Sheren’s directing the children’s choirs in her guestbook entry. Those of you who were sitting in the congregation were enjoying listening to your children and/or grandchildren but you missed the best part. Those of us who sat in the choir got to see Sheren’s delightful expressions as she coaxed and encouraged the children as they sang. Her radiance and joy were present even during the “oops” moments. Thinking of all of you during this difficult time.

Sheren was such a blessing. A true lady, with a beautiful smile and a gracious heart. She loved so well and was loved by so many. I will cherish the memories. Holding you all close in prayer.

I know Sheren had many accomplishments to be proud of, but what sticks most in my mind is her role as director of the Children's Choir at
First Methodist Church Corsicana. She did an amazing job with them even though occasionally she had 'run-a-ways'. And the one she remembered the most was Blair Stroud. After all that hard work she put in , Blair didn't make it but a few steps past the back door of the sanctuary. He balked and refused to go down front to sing! Probably her one failure. But I have fabulous photos of Burke and Blair in the outfits Sheren designed for the choir.
They are objects I would grab if my house were on fire. Abe and I will miss our sweet friend. Fran Stroud
