November 13, 1937 – September 20, 2023
Sharon joined her husband David E. Andrews and son David J. Andrews in God's loving arms on September 20, 2023, at the age of 85.
Preceded in death by parents Joseph and Bertha Redlinger, brother Richard Redlinger (Laverne) and sister Rachelle Kemnitz (Bernard aka: Joe).
She was a loving mother of Kevin Andrews (Virginia) and Karyn Pahule (Edward). Devoted Grandmother of Ryan Andrews (Danielle), Brett Pahule, Erin Andrews (Stephen), Kurt Pahule and Katie Andrews. Sister and friend of Donna Blair (John). She was loved by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many dear friends.
Sharon had many great passions which included getting to know anyone with a smile. She was a natural born caregiver and spent her working career helping children with special needs at Gaenslen School. Sharon spent much of her retirement time loving her family, laughing with friends and volunteering at the Zoological Society of Milwaukee. She was long term member of Immanual Lutheran – Brookfield.
Sharon's family is grateful for the extended time they had with their mom, sister and grandmother. She loved to stay active and engaged with those she loved. Her family is very thankful to all the family, friends, neighbors and strangers for their prayers and support. Especially in this last year.
Additionally, her family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Layton Terrace for the comfort provided over these past several months.
A memorial gathering for friends and family will be held at Wisconsin Memorial Park – Chapel of the Chimes, 13235 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield Wisconsin on Saturday, November 4, 2023 between 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM with a Memorial Service at 11:00 AM.

When I joined Zoo Pride 10 yrs. ago Sharon was one of the first volunteers I met while working on an event. We had a laugh when we realized we shared the same last name and it was a long running joke between us. She had such a welcoming personality, had an infectious smile and always took time to chat with you. A great sense of humor too! We had many fun times working together over the years. I am saddened to know I won´t see her smiling face again but feel very fortunate that such a wonderful lady touched my life. Sincerest condolences to the family.
