Sharon Ann Smith
November 11, 1945 - July 15, 2024
FREMONT, NE - On July 15, 2024, Sharon Ann Smith age 78, of Plattsmouth, formerly of Fremont, was called home to be with God and her beloved husband, Dennis.
Sherry was born on November 11, 1945 in Everett Washington to George and Parilee Pitzer.

She spent her last years living in the Nebraska Masonic Home in Plattsmouth, NE surrounded by her Masonic friends and staff that she adored. Her real passion in life was her family, especially her grandchildren.
