Katie M. Schrock

Katie Mae (Eash)(Miller) Schrock of Goshen peacefully passed from this earthly life on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, listening to “His Eye is on the Sparrow”.

Katie was born on December 26, 1929, in LaGrange County to Jacob and Annie (Schmucker) Eash. She married Daniel L. Miller in LaGrange County on March 1, 1949. He died in May of 1971.

On September 13, 2003, Katie married Roger M. Schrock who died on December 25, 2024. Early in their marriage, Katie and Roger lived in Florida.

Surviving children include: Elroy (Glenda) Miller, Pollyanna Stickel, and Katherine Horvath – all of Goshen; Rosetta Miller of Elkhart; Harley Dean Miller of Decatur; and Joyce (Stuart) Fuller of Sylvania, Ohio. Also surviving are 10 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, 11 great-great-grandchildren, and a sister, Ida Byers.

Katie was preceded in death by her husband Daniel, her husband Roger, two grandchildren, her parents, and three sisters, Polly Wilson, Emma Nisley, and Esther Eash.

Growing up as the oldest daughter of an Amish farmer, Katie learned to do many chores. From helping her mother with laundry or household chores to plowing in the fields using teams of horses (5 to 6 at a time), to milking cows, to running the steam engine, Katie learned to work hard.

Katie enjoyed sewing and needle crafts. She created quilts for her children, crocheted afghans, baby blankets, and shawls and x-stitched sweatshirts for family and friends. In addition, she created many doilies in a variety of shapes and sizes which she sold in some local Goshen shops.

Katie retired from Johnson Controls in 1992.

A family graveside service is being planned for June 25, at Grace Lawn Cemetery at 2:00 pm.
