July 22, 1947 - February 1, 2017

Sharon Marlene Smith, 69, of Minong, Wisconsin, died at her home with her family by her side on February 1, 2017.

Sharon was born on July 22, 1947 to parents Russell and Loretta (Denninger) Coons in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.  She married Harold “Smokey” Smith on December 4, 1965 at Calvary Lutheran Church in Minong. 

Her family always came first for Sharon.  Her husband, her children, and her grandchildren were her life. She loved going out to her lake lot in the summers to spend time at her little house. She enjoyed riding on the pontoon and fishing with her husband and family at the lake, along with going on ATV rides. She always enjoyed adding to her collection of birds in the house along with making sure her birds were fed daily outside so she could watch them every day!  Sharon was a devoted housewife and when she had time she enjoyed cross stitching, cross word puzzles, and reading in the little spare time she had after taking care of her family.
Sharon was an avid Green Bay Packer and Wisconsin Badger fan and made sure she watched them every week!

Sharon provided community support with the fire department and the ambulance for many years! She was the President of the Minong Fire Dept. Auxiliary.  Sharon was "mother" to every member of the department as she was always there for the support of all of these volunteers! She was ALWAYS a "behind" the scene person. Sharon was also a Girl Scout Leader and a Cub Scout Leader for the children in the area.

Sharon is survived by her husband, her children Todd (Debbie) Smith and Tracey (Bob) Tyman, her grandchildren Tyler Smith, Cole Tyman, Qwynn Tyman, and Tessah Tyman, her siblings Shirley Fye and Lee (Eileen) Coons, many nieces and nephews, and her beloved dog Sophie.

A gathering of friends and family will be held on Thursday, February 9, 2017, from 4-7pm, with a brief service at 7:00 pm, at the Minong Village Hall with a Celebration of Life at 7pm.  Interment will be at a later date at the Greenwood Cemetery. 

In lieu of flowers or monetary gifts, Smokey and family would greatly appreciate donations to be directed to Regional Hospice in Sharon's name at 15910W Company Lake Rd, Hayward, WI 54843.
