Deepest sympathies for the loss of an amazing lady! She lived a wonderful life.
Beautiful Sharon, as we remember her. Our paths crossed when we lived in St Joan of Arc. So sorry to hear of your loss but am sure the Sacred Heart has wrapped His arms around her and the Blessed Virgin is smiling, close by. God bless all that are left behind as God has already blessed Sharon..
Jenny, your mom led a remarkable life, and raised a remarkable family. I am so glad you were there for her throughout her illness. Blessings and Peace to you and your family.
There are few words. While growing up, Sharon and the entire family were so good for us! So many stories. Good memories, great family. So very sorry for your loss. God bless.
Our sincere condolences and prayers go to you and your family, Jenny. Although I did not know your mother personally, her light was shining so bright through you in all that you shared about her and all that did for your family. Please find peace in the memories that you all share together. Love, Stacey Brun and Family
I knew Sharon for many years at SJA. She always had tons of energy and a big smile for all.
Our condolences. We remember sharon as so energetic and full of life. She was a wonderful mother and her spirit will live on in all her beautiful children.
Your picture looks just like you did the last time I saw you in Redfield, South Dakota. I envied your children as you had so many and my Mom your aunt only had 3. One to Iold to ever play with and then a crappy brother. Always enjoyed family visits with you girls and my sister Joanne. To all of you children my cousins cherish those memories as you move forward in life as I lost Tom too. Sharon it would rock your world to know that almost 4 generations of Naughton young women are becoming nurses. Rest In Peace our lovely angel, my Mom is just fawning over you and Kevin! Love and condolences to you and Dean what a snappy dresser! Please keep in touch and see as many of you at Sr. Kevin’s memorial.
Thoughts and prayers to the entire Munro family. Many great memories growing up on 72nd Ave.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you! What a beautiful mom! Full of so much love and energy! Wish we could be there to celebrate her life, but she will definitely me in our prayers today ! Blessings 🙏🏻
I went to St. Joan with Kevin. I am so sorry for your family’s loss. My prayers are with you all. Rest in Peace Mrs. Munro.
I worked with Sharon in the ICU at Bergan Mercy. As a young nurse, she was a wonderful role model of professionalism, optimism, and how a nurse/mom can achieve a work/home balance. She encouraged me to pursue my education – which I did. I remember her thoughtful kindness when, years later, she reached out to me when I received an award at Creighton University. Her perpetual smile will always be remembered. She made a difference in the lives of many.
