HILDEBRAND, Sharon

(Maiden Name: Robson)

Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Published Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - Sharon Hildebrand passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family March 12, 2011, after a short battle with lung cancer. A celebration of life open house will be held at 3170 Tom Tom Drive March 21, from 1 to 4 p.m. Sharon was born in Newton, Iowa, to John and Edith Robson on Sept. 7, 1941. She married Jim Hildebrand in 1962 and moved to Southern California, where they both worked for the Metropolitan Water District. Moving to Intake on the Lake in 1971, life was great with lots of boating, swimming and skiing. In 1994, they left the Met family and retired to Lake Havasu to live in their dream home. Sharon was a joiner. She joined the London Bridge Woman’s club, Western Welcome, the Christian Woman’s club and was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church where she was baptized. She enjoyed playing Bunco all over town. She had a great group of friends she played cards and dominoes with. It'll be hard to fill her empty seat. She had a great sense of humor that will be missed by many but no more so than her own family. Throughout her life, she enjoyed being a room mother, a Girl Scout leader, a golfer and a bowler. She enjoyed riding motorcycles and racing go-karts. She loved arts and crafts, especially with her granddaughter and she was the best friend and mother a daughter could ever hope for. Sharon was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years in August 2009. Those left behind are her parents, John Robson and wife Helen, Edith Jones and husband, Ernie; her sister, Judy Schutty and husband Tony; her brother, John; her daughter, Christie and son-in-law Michael; granddaughter Brittany; and nieces and nephews. Donations can be made to New Hope Hospice in lieu of flowers for the wonderful comfort and care they gave Sharon and her family or a donation in Sharon’s name to the Senior Center would be lovely too. Thoughts and condolences may be submitted to the family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. Arrangements were place under the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory.
