| Arizona Daily Sun, Flagstaff, Arizona Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Sharon Wiessmann, or Shari, as she was known to her many friends, died Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009, at the Olivia White Hospice Home, with her family at her side. She was born to Lawrence X. LaHaie and Margaret C. Grawey on May 20, 1939, in Cheboygan, Mich. She was married to Norman B. Wiessmann on Jan. 14, 1978. After selling their flower business in Illinois, they moved to Flagstaff in August 2004. For more than 40 years, Shari's passion was being a floral designer. She was a member of the American Institute of Floral Designers and co-owner of Norms' Flower Cottage and Norm's Chalor Flowers in Illinois. She has also lived in Brookfield, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, and Orland Park, Ill., where she still has many friends and acquaintances. Shari had so love for each and every member of her family, and although very sad and tragic, her illness and death has brought the family closer together. She loved her husband Norm and they were soul mates. She is survived by her husband Norm, as well as first husband David A. Meilbeck; daughters Meg Machacek and Karen Golden; sons Larry, Phillip, and Jeff Meilbeck; and 10 grandchildren. A memorial service and reception will be Friday at 10 a.m. at Flagstaff Federated Community Church, 400 W. Aspen Ave. The family suggests contributions in Shari's name: The Olivia White Hospice House (www.northlandhospice.org) and to the Humane Society of the United States (www.hsus.org). Condolences can be sent to the family at condolences@Lozanos- FlagstaffMortuary.com. Arrangements are by Lozano's Flagstaff Mortuary. |
