In 1982, they moved to Portage where Sharon worked at both St. Mary's Catholic School and Don-Rick Insurance before working as the Deputy City Clerk for the City of Portage for over 20 years until she retired. Sharon had been very involved in St. Mary's Catholic Churches in both Sheboygan Falls and Portage where she enjoyed volunteering with the children's activities.
Sharon and Gary loved to entertain and often had family, friends and neighbors to their home. They also loved to spend their summers at Sky High Campground in Portage and always had fun with fellow campers. Sharon enjoyed dancing, reading, sewing, cooking, and always had an exercise routine throughout the years. Sharon and Gary moved to Beaver Dam in 2015 where they spent the summer months. In the winter, they would go to their home in Sebring Village, FL, where they remained active with their many friends.
Survivors include her husband, Gary Pyrek, of Beaver Dam; two daughters: Kimberly (Thomas) Jacobson of Eden Prairie, MN and Jill (Eric) Zimmerman of Milwaukee; four grandchildren: Tom, Ellie, and Abby Jacobson and Zakery Zimmerman; her sister-in-law, Mona Pyrek of Sheboygan Falls; other relatives and friends.
