Sharon MORASCH Obituary

May 10, 1944 - September 11, 2025

Spokane - Sharon grew up in the small town of Ione, Washington, with her parents Viola and Bernard O'Donnell and six siblings. She married Jim Morasch in Spokane in 1967 and started a family in 1969. They moved their family of five to Medical Lake in 1974. Sharon was active with the school board and St. Anne's Church.

Her children, Angela, Richard, and Heather, are forever grateful to have had such an excellent mom.

In recent years, she was living with Alzheimer's, but even as her memory and abilities faded, she maintained her kind demeanor. We are very grateful to the amazing caregivers that supported her.

Please join us for a funeral and reception at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Medical Lake, Friday, October 17th, at 11 a.m.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Missing our many visits throughout the years, you were always a happy person and a good wife to Jim and a good friend to us. Bless your family

I remember Sharon as one whose light shone brightly in the world. Gracious and benevolent, the Morasch family invited the youth and parents of St Anne to sled and play in the snow on their land in Medical Lake. Afterward we returned to St. Anne to warm ourselves and enjoy the soup made with donations of ingredients provided by participants, which Vina Mikkelson put together while we played in the snow. It is a wonderful memory of the community and Sharon. May her memory be a blessing to all those who knew her and an example of true Christian faith.

Heather - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember a Halloween party at their house years ago when we all still worked in Accessioning. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

It was a blessing to know Sharon through the years when we lived in Medical Lake and to get to work at the daycare with her for a short time. She surprised me by knocking on my door and asking me to work there just when I had been praying for a part time job!
