Sharon Kay (Powell) King, the daughter of Ernest E Powell and Loretta A Reich was born on Oct. 13, 1945 in Osage, Iowa. They lived in Nora Springs and rural Mason City growing up. Sharon graduated from Mason City High School in May of 1964.

On June 20, 1964 Sharon was united in marriage to Frederick G. King. They met roller skating and eventually eloped and were married in Laverne, Minnesota. This marriage was blessed with three girls: Sherry, Tricia, and Colleen.

Some of Sharon’s hobbies were cooking, baking, and feeding people along with camping, fishing, gardening, gambling, and most of all spending time with her grandkids: Renae, Alex and Rebecca (truly the lights of her life). She also had a love for animals: Red, Sadie, Penny, Teddy, Missy and several more. Sharon enjoyed spending time with her family. “Sister Night” always put a smile on her face. All of the shenanigans they encountered during these times are always a good story to be told. She was known for making excellent potato salad, cheese balls, and chicken with biscuits.

Sharon is survived by three daughters: Sherry King (Todd Bates), Tricia (Troy) Bahlmann and Colleen (Shawn) Goddard; three grandchildren: Renae (Tom) Frieden, Alexander (Becca) Mitchell and Rebecca Bates; four step-grandchildren: Ashley Sanders, Ethan Bates, Jacob (Allison) Bates and Anna Bates; sisters: Pat Powell, Sandy Spencer, Mary (Dan) Blair, Jane Ritzert and Judy Reich; sister-in law, Darlys (Rick) Rogers; three brothers-in-law: Duane (Cleone) King, Wayne (Debbie) King and Cecil (Kathleen) King; along with several nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Frederick G King; her parents, Ernest and Loretta Powell; father and mother-in-law, Marreld and Bernice King; brother, Roger Powell; brothers-in-law: Kurt Spencer and Lee Ritzert; nephews: Jim Powell and Jim Parish; sister-in-law, Leona Parish; and niece Jenny Tresch.

The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Nasstrom in Osage and 11th Street Chautauqua for all of the great care they provided for Sharon during her time with them.
