Sharon Ann Blum was born on August 6, 1940 in Black River Falls, WI, daughter to the late Burton & Violette (Nyssted) Smith. She attended Shawano Schools and later graduated with the class of 1958. Sharon was united in marriage to Allen D. Blum on January 14, 1961 at the First United Methodist Church, Clintonville. The couple moved to Clintonville where they started a family and resided the rest of their lives. They joined St. Martin Lutheran Church, Clintonville where Sharon was active with the Ladies Aid for many years. In her younger years, she bowled on a couples league with Al; they also played cards with their couples friends for many years. Sharon was also a gifted Scrabble player and loved her crossword puzzles. She cherished time working in her large garden, which was well manicured and looked after with care. Music was a big part of her life; in her younger years, she sang in some ensembles and could always be counted on to sing and dance at weddings and other family gatherings. For a time, Sharon worked as a hair stylist at Vanity Fair, Clintonville. Time spent with family at the cottage on Lake Emma near Rhinelander, was something they all looked forward to. Sharon could often be found walking around town visiting with anyone she ran into. She will be remembered for her servant’s heart and the love she had for her family.
