Sharon was born in Ponca, NE on February 18, 1946, the daughter of Arnold "Smokey"
and Alberta (Malsi) Stark. She was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church
in Martinsburg, NE where she was a life-long member. She was also a longtime member
of Trinity Ladies Aid and Gasser VFW Auxiliary. Sharon graduated from Ponca High
School and moved to Sioux City, IA where she married and had three children. She
worked for Johnson Biscuit/Interbake Foods until she retired due to progression of
Parkinson's Disease, which she battled for nearly 20 years. After retiring, she
moved near Waterbury where she developed a special relationship with her long-term
companion, Neal Beacom. She was able to stay at home until a few months ago when her
Parkinson's began to overtake her body and she moved into Regency Square in South
Sioux City, NE.

Sharon was a die-hard Nebraska Cornhusker sports fan and loved watching and cheering
on her Huskers, especially football and women's volleyball. Even more than the
Huskers, she loved her children and grandchildren and playing cards with friends and
family. Sharon was a kind, caring person known and liked by everyone she came into
contact with. She will be missed by many.

(Chantel) Scott of Boone, NC and Matthew (Gayle) Scott of Mooresville, NC;

Makousky; several aunts, uncles, cousins; and a nephew.
