Sharon was born December 24, 1942, to Leo and Gertrude (Tauer) Koll in Morgan. She was the oldest of nine children. After high school graduation, she went to a secretarial school in Minneapolis. After completing the training, she worked in the secretarial pool for the CIA in Washington, D.C. until she married the love of her life, Larry Weyer, on November 25, 1961, in Olivia.

Sharon enjoyed being a military wife for almost 20 years, before they retired in 1975 to a “hobby farm” in Staples. During her time in Staples she enjoyed attending her children’s school events, maintaining a large garden, participating in bowling leagues and being a long-time member of Circle 5 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. After their retirement from farming, Sharon and Larry traveled full-time in their fifth wheel trailer before settling in Mission.  As the youngest resident of Bentsen Palm RV Park, Sharon enjoyed participating in all of the activities there. Her greatest joys were bowling, going to dances several times a week and sewing baby quilts for the local hospitals. 

Sharon is survived by two sons, Michael (Joy) of Staples and Steven of Mission; three daughters, Ellen (Jeffrey) Jones of The Colony, TX, Janis (Chuck) Fagin of Deer River and Brenda (Stephen) Sorensen of Long Grove, IA; 10 grandchildren, Jason (Laura) Weyer, Megan (Alex) Wohl, Tera (Jesse) Kohn, Renee Paskewitz, Cameron Jones, Kelsey Jones, Erin (Adrian) Pop, Callum Fagin, David Sorensen and Rachel Sorensen; seven great-grandchildren, Grace, Ava and Ruby Paskewitz, Abigail and Ian Weyer, Isaiah and Zachary Wohl; six siblings, Audrey White, Quentin Koll, Mavis Lamka, Cynthia Koll Tengwall, Jody Strommer and Shelly Gatewood.
