Sharon M. Bossert

Sharon (Ward) Bossert passed away peacefully on March 26, 2021 at the age of 89.  She was born at St. Joseph Hospital in Minot to Hazel (Knudson) and William Ward.  Sharon was raised and educated in Minot, attending St. Leo’s Catholic School and the Minot Teacher’s College.

Sharon married Albert Bossert (Anne Lemer and Frank Bossert) on Oct 15, 1955 at St. Leo’s Catholic Church in Minot.  They made their home in Drake working at Bossert Implement.  Sharon later worked for many years at the Drake Creamery.

Sharon and Albert were life members of the Drake Threshing Assoc. For many years, Sharon and other ladies in the community prepared the food sold at the annual threshing shows drawing people from across the state.  Rain or shine, you attended the show for the food as well as the fun.

Sharon was also a long-time member of the St. Margaret Mary Parish Guild serving church members by preparing and serving food at many church functions.  It was well known that she was an amazing cook.  Her German potato salad, turkey and dressing, and dill pickles will remain the highest standard that few people, if any, can match.  Her pickles have travelled with many grand kids and family members when they came to visit.  “Can I take a jar of pickles” was a common ask and she always had jars waiting to send along.

Sharon was an avid Green Bay Packer fan and she wasn’t afraid to correct any Viking fan on which team was better – Packers all the way!

Sharon will be deeply missed by her four children - Mark, Kevin (Michelle Schiele), Julie (Mark Jacobson), Paul (Chrissy Erdman); 7 grandchildren – Amanda (Ivan) Martic, Eric (Bridget) Bossert, Alex (Kelsie) Bossert, Anni (Ernie) Lageson, Kristen (Nick) Bowe, Brenden (Marcie) Jacobson, Landon Jacobson; and 13 great grandchildren.

Sharon answered God’s call and now joins her parents, husband Albert, sister Mary Jean, brother Pat, and many other family and friends that have gone before her.
