Funeral services were held Friday, October 23 at St. Peter Community Christian Church, New Albin, with Rev. William Reese as the Officiant. Burial followed at St. Peter Cemetery, New Albin.
Sharon was born December 19, 1938 to Edward and Gladys (Johnson) Witt. She grew up in La Crosse, WI and was a 1956 graduate of Central High School.
October 5, 1957, she married Edwin Weymiller at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in La Crosse, WI. They resided on their farm south of New Albin for 25 years and then moved into New Albin, where they currently resided until her death.
She had several jobs throughout her life, but the one she enjoyed the most was her years at Thornton Manor. She was a kind, loving, generous and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt. She lived for her family, which was the joy of her life. She loved cooking, sewing, crocheting, knitting, shopping, walking, snowmobiling, bowling and crossword puzzles. Christmas was her favorite time of year, from decorating to cooking, but especially spoiling her grandchildren.
Sharon is survived by her husband of 58 years, Edwin; two sons, Douglas (Bonnie) Weymiller and Dennis (Robert) Weymiller; two daughters, Sally (Roger) Emerson and Sue (Jerrold Anderson); nine grandchildren, Leah, Avery, Amanda, Leisha, Heather, Ashley, Corey, Noah and Jasmine; 13 great-grandchildren, Keanna, Collin, Carson, Kendall, Adalyn, Averi, Ava, Abby, Jaymes, Marian, Brendan, Dustan and Cassidy; one sister, Sandy; and also a very dear friend, Myrna.
