My sympathy to Sharon’s family. I have many memories of Sharon with our Financial Women’s International association. Sharon was always gracious, enjoyed visiting, sightseeing, Eggs Benedict for breakfast and made our trips very enjoyable! She will be remembered. First picture is in Minneapolis 1995, second picture date and place unknown, third is Oregon 2002.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sharon was a wonderful person and sister. I know that she will be greatly missed by all. I have such fond memories of her picking us up at the airport. She was adorable at the restaurant asking about the pie for the day. She made us a big dinner that was amazing with a beautiful table all set. I am so glad that I got to meet her. Our siblings carry a piece of our hearts in theirs. Thinking of you and your family.

How do I say goodbye to my big sister who has always been there for me? You always had a big smile and open arms for the best hugs ever. You were a prayer warrior and always lit a candle when a family member was traveling. I remember when you cried when I moved to Texas because it was so far away. I miss you so much! Love you forever ❤️❤️❤️
Love Wendy Graf

Oh Sharon, my sister, my best friend, my love! Not sure how I’ll navigate life without talking to you every day, but I’ll call upon your strength to get me through. You have been my confidante and my rock, and you have certainly made me a better person! So until we meet at the Gates of Heaven, I’ll keep your memory alive! Love you to the moon and back! ❤️❤️

Sharon was a sweet, graceful, beautiful woman. Sharon was the best older sister to June & her siblings! She was always friendly & kind with her gentle soul welcoming familiar or new faces in her life & community.
She was able to light up a room with her positive disposition & infectious, winning smile.
Thoughts & prayers, peace & comfort be with you June, and your entire family.

Please accept my sympathy with the passing of this dear lady. Sharon will always be dear to my heart with her gentle smile, professionalism and sense of humor. We have so many memories through FWI- Financial Women International that will always be dear to my heart. So many laughs, stories and her love of banking and helping people. Always a gentle hug. I just saw her at Woman's Night and again got the beautiful smile and hug. I am blessed to have shared time with Sharon!

We don’t get to pick our family, but if I could I would pick Sharon Rose over and over again! I am blessed to be able to call her my Aunt. She was a true example of a life well lived. She was a beautiful person inside and out, and even though she is gone the memories live on. She loved her family and friends with all her heart, always had a beautiful smile on her face, gave the best hugs, and always put others first! She is loved beyond measure and will be missed dearly. Thank you for all the wonderful memories! I love you Sharon ❤️Jenny

I have so many fond memories with my Aunt Sharon, from weekends at the cabin to playing in her basement. I will never forget the orange shag carpet and sitting in that booth playing restaurant.
Our sisters trips to St. Thomas, NYC, Arizona…and many shopping trips along the way. Sharon loves to shop and she always looked like a million bucks. She was full of style and grace.
Sharon has taught me so much and has been a true role model and positive influence on my life.
The greatest gift Sharon has ever given me was the gift of her time. She always made time for me and I cherish those memories.
I can’t image growing up without Sharon as my Aunt. Sharon made every day special with her warmth, kindness and unconditional love.
Heaven is sure lucky to have you!
Until we meet again… I Love You!

Sincere sympathy extended to the Gudenkauf family. You have lost a special person here but you have gained an angel in heaven. Jim and Sharon were our neighbors at the lake and we always enjoyed when they stopped by on the golf cart to visit. Sharon was never without a smile. We will miss her. Our best to all the family.

Sharon Rose my godmother, to know her is to love her. I was blessed to have Sharon as my godmother. She was the perfect example of all things in life that we cherish, kindness, compassion, family and faith, loving beyond boundaries, and truly caring for those who were lucky enough to be a part of her life. Sharon was a daily fixture in my life growing up in Dyersville. From stopping by the bank for a quick visit (and free suckers) to weekends at the cabin and occasionally bumping into her at the Pub, she always had a kiss and a hug for me. Some of my earliest memories of Sharon are of her stopping by our house in the morning to visit us and my mom for coffee before we had to go to school. She genuinely cared how we were all doing and loved me like her own son. When I was in the process of purchasing my first home, I was certain that this was not in my budget, Sharon called to congratulate me on getting approved for the loan. I was very nervous and scared about my new responsibilities and quite sure that I’d be eating ramen noodles for the rest of my life. Sharon assured me that I could handle this and even went as far as to say that I would be upgrading my vehicle within a year. She was right on both! Sharon wanted the best for everyone, now she’s got the best seat possible in heaven. Until we meet again, love you, Ryan

Sharon was the BEST neighbor my parents could ask for. She was genuinely interested in their lives and ours. She would come outside when we got home and was always up for a conversation.
She will be missed. Condolences to Jim and family.

Wow heaven sure got a great angel to watch over all of us. Sharon & Neil will be the brightest star in the sky every night letting us know they are watching over all of us. Sharon was great I don't even know where to start to tell you how greatful we were to have a Great neighbor/ friend! When we started to build our house and we did not have a stove Sharon invited us over to her party she was having because she knew I was cooking on plywood and saw horses using crock pots! She would send us over food when ever she knew we were having issues with Tommys heart! God bless her! I lost my Mom when I was 8 years old and did not know that a mother would of done all the wonderful things that Sharon did for us! I could not Thank her enough!! At Christmas every year I would take a plate of cookies and candy over to her to enjoy- She said she waited for it- she loved it. When I take wash off the line and she would see me she would come out on her back deck and say Hi Jill and we would always talk. She was a very amazing person! We will miss her dearly.You all have our sympathy!

Jim and I always enjoyed stopping out at the lake to visit with Jim and you, on our visits back to Iowa. We would sit and talk for hours, along with a ride up and down the lake , on your pontoon. I was truly blessed to have you as my cousin.
