Sheree Weinreich Dachman, co-owner of Johnny Ws Trophies and Awards and winner of numerous awards for her show cats, passed away Sept. 30, 2013, in Denver.
Rabbis Steven Foster and Brian Immerman officiated at the Oct. 3 graveside service at Emanuel Cemetery. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
Sheree was born March 29, 1941, in Denver to the late Johnny and Doris Weinreich. She graduated East High.
She worked with her parents at Monaco Lanes.
After her father died, Sheree, her mom and sister Vicki Sharp opened Johnny Ws Trophies and Awards in 1976.
We always felt like the awards business was wonderful because it helped people honor others for doing good things or achieving something great, Vicki said.
Her marriage to Art Dachman ended in divorce, but they remained close friends.
Sheree was very involved in the Cat Fanciers Assn. and was a legend among American Shorthair breeders.
Her cattery significantly contributed to Silver Tabby American Shorthair lines over the past 40 years.
In addition to winning several awards, Sheree gave or shared her grand champion cats with other people so they could enter them in shows or simply love these special felines.
Sheree is survived by her children Cindy (Dan) Niblo-Ward and Scott Dachman; siblings Steve (Nancy) Weinreich and Vicki (David) Sharp; and grandchildren Nicholas, Whitney and Landon.
