With profound sadness, family and friends announce the passing of Tasha Marie Schnackenberg, who departed this life on August 23, 2025, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at the age of 38.
Tasha’s life, though far too brief, was filled with moments of love, joy, and meaningful connections that left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
A devoted daughter, sister, friend, and community member, Tasha’s presence brought comfort and happiness to those around her.
Her family remembers her as someone who carried herself with grace and warmth, always ready to share a kind word, a listening ear, or a smile that could brighten even the heaviest of days.
Her compassion extended far beyond her family; she had a genuine ability to make others feel cared for and valued, qualities that made her deeply cherished by her circle of friends and loved ones.
Tasha’s life was defined by her devotion to the people she loved. She was the kind of person who prioritized family gatherings, special traditions, and quiet moments of togetherness, knowing that these were the memories that would endure.
Her loved ones will forever recall her laughter, her thoughtfulness, and her strength in facing life’s challenges.
Though her journey ended far too soon, the legacy she leaves behind is one of kindness, resilience, and love that will continue to shine in the hearts of those who carry her memory.
A memorial service to celebrate Tasha’s life will be held at Grace Lutheran Church in Watertown on Friday, August 29, 2025.
The service will begin at 11:00 a.m., with a visitation starting at 10:00 a.m., giving family, friends, and members of the community an opportunity to come together in remembrance and gratitude.
This gathering will serve not only as a time of mourning but also as a celebration of the joy and inspiration Tasha brought into the lives she touched.
The Schnackenberg family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have received during this incredibly difficult time.
They ask that those who knew Tasha keep her memory alive by holding fast to the values she embodied compassion, generosity, and an unwavering dedication to those she loved.
In the days ahead, the family requests that people keep them in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate the grief of losing such a beloved soul.
Though words cannot fully capture the depth of loss felt by Tasha’s passing, her spirit will live on in the countless memories shared, the lessons she taught without even trying, and the love she gave freely to others.
Her story is one of connection and heart, and while her physical presence will be missed, the essence of who she was remains forever.
As we remember Tasha Marie Schnackenberg, we hold onto the gift of her life and the reminder to live with the same compassion, courage, and love that she so beautifully demonstrated.
