Sharon Ann Weidelman

Sharon Ann Weidelman, age 76, born August 3, 1950, in Jersey City, New Jersey, passed away leaving a legacy of faith, service, adventure, and devotion to her family.

Sharon was born to the late Robert and Joanne French and grew up alongside her brother, Robert French. On December 23, 1978, she married the love of her life, Gordon Weidelman. Together they built a life filled with love, faith, and family until Gordon’s passing in 2019.

A devout Catholic, Sharon dedicated her professional life to working for the Catholic Church, living out her faith daily through service to others. She possessed a vibrant spirit and a deep passion for life. An avid runner, she completed marathons and embraced the beauty of the natural world through her wildlife photography and her love of cruising the world's oceans. Above all, Sharon was defined by her generous heart and commitment to helping people. She gave selflessly of her time and energy to organizations close to her heart, including LifeHouse, The Pregnancy Care Center, and Greenwood Laboratory School in Springfield, Missouri—the school attended by her beloved granddaughter.
