Sharon Rae Lewellyn, (nee Lowell), aka Sherlock. Born into this world on January 22, 1944, the first of two daughters to Jack and Shirley (Tavernie) Lowell. Born into eternal life on September 3, 2011, after a brief, intense battle with wide spread advanced bone cancer.

As a graduate of Omro High School with the class of 1962, Sharon pursued her dreams of song and dance, whenever she could thru most of her life. She also worked as a waitress in different local restaurants; worked at Speed Queen in Omro; Admanco in Ripon; Chiropractic Assistant in Oshkosh; Miles Kimball in season; sales person for AFLAC; and as a CNA at Omro Care Center and at a CBRF south of Oshkosh. But the things she was best at was being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and gramma.

Some of her favorite things in life was to ride on the back of her husband's motorcycle. Maybe just around the block, or around the state, or to the Black Hills and back (twice). She rode with the Journeymen M.C. for many years and also rode with the Retreads M.C. and the Recyclists M.C. All those years of riding creates a lifetime of memories.

She also loved to go on car cruises in the Nova. She once told me that when she was riding with me in the Nova, that she felt like a million bucks. WOW, what a compliment. She loved to follow the Brewers and the Packers in season and loved to attend their games whenever possible.

She would also travel far and near to attend a rock & roll concert. Her first Rock USA ticket this year went to her granddaughter, because she was unable to attend. But we attended many in our 40 years together.

Twice a year she would look forward to getting on the bus with family and friends, getting out of "Dodge" overnight and going to the casinos. Win, Lose or Draw, it was always a good time. On a cold winter night, she would love to snuggle up in front of the fireplace and watch a good movie or listen to a favorite album. She also loved to follow NASCAR racing and her favorite driver was always Jeff Gordon. And in the last three years, she loved being a 3rd partner in 3G Racing and go watch for grandson, Gunner, race his go cart. Some more good times with Gunner, Gram & Grampa.

Sharon is survived and will be dearly missed by her husband, Douglas; daughter, Erika; mother, Shirley Reiter, Omro; sisters, Lynn (Bud) Thomsen of N. Carolina, Faye (Gary) Henke of Omro and Connie (Jim) Olson of New London. Her Grandchildren, Kaitlin and Dalton Juedes and Gunner Hazelwood. Nieces, Lori Cook of N. Carolina, Paula Thomsen of N. Carolina, Jamie (Chuck) Domke of Eureka; nephews, Brett (Sheila) Henke of Omro and Mike Durant of Oshkosh; and many other family and friends.

Sharon was preceded in death by her father, Jack Lowell, brother, Jeffrey; her dad, Joseph Reiter; her other dad, Lynn Lewellyn; her son, Kurt and her daughter, Jodi, 21 years to the day as Kurt.

Dear Sherlock,

Just wanted to let you know once again how much I love you. Always have and always will. For me, it was love at first sight that summer of 1970. Who could forget our first motorcycle ride together, in November, in the snow. You were hanging on so tight and I was loving it. Our first Christmas that year, I will always treasure because I remember feeling like the luckiest guy alive. And when you said "I DO" on June 5, 1971, you made me the happiest guy alive and somehow and some way you have continued to help me feel that same way for over 40 years. Not too many guys can say that and that's because there's not too many girls like you. Just wanted to mention that you were right again on some issues, like - - So much for our Golden Years. Being a lonely old man, and another chapter in the Lewellyn Curse. And I'm sure by the time we can be together again, you will have the answers to all the questions we have been asking each other for years. Didn't call you Sherlock for nothing. And if dreams, hopes and prayers can come true, then hopefully you have your arm around Kurt and have Jodi by the hand and you three can pick up where you left off.

I know the obituary says bone cancer, but I can't help but think that your broken heart had something to do with this final outcome. And who could blame you. After the loss of your second child and your heart is broke again, it's damn hard, if not impossible to carry on with the same spunk, fight and desire that you once had. And speaking of broken hearts, it just tears me up to think of all the days, weeks, months or even years when we all thought you were having another bad day because of your fibromyalgia, in all reality it probably was this bone cancer, wide spread, getting it's death grip on you. All the doctors – all the appointments and nobody knew until it was way too late. How sad something like this has to happen this way, but it did. And you were a fighter, Sherlock, all the way to the end. No matter what Sherlock, I will continue to love you as much today as I did yesterday and I will tomorrow.

So until we can be together again, please give the kids, Dad, Dad & Dad, all "MACKERS" from me. I love you, always have and always will. You will be in my thoughts and prayers every day and every night, just like you were for the last 40 years.

Farewell For Now, I Love you. Your Dougie.

Thanks to all the staff at Aurora Medical Center, except for the nameless Doctor in the Emergency Room at 4 a.m. on August 19. The man has zero bedside manner, zero compassion and zero understanding.

Thanks to the great staff on West 2, who all did a fine job taking care of Sharon and helping to keep her as comfortable as possible. A big heartfelt hug to Michelle, Tori and Dr. Rebekah Schroeder for going the extra mile with gifts, thoughts of love and friendship and all their prayers. We will never forget your kindness. Also to all the wonderful girls from Hospice, who were there for us at a most difficult time and helped us get thru. We are forever grateful. Thank You all.

In respect to Sharon's memory, the family will greet relatives and friends on Thursday, September 8, 2011 at the funeral home from 4:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. and then again on Friday, September 9, 2011 at the Waukau United Methodist Church from 10:00 A.M. until the time of the funeral service at 11:00 A.M. with Rev. Charles Davis officiating.
