Sharon was born in Etzikom on August 19, 1942 to Waldo and Grace Stromsmoe. She married Arnold Wesley in 1959 and spent the earlier years of her life on the farm near Etzikom where they grew grain and raised cattle. In 1981, they moved to an acreage near Raymond where they raised horses and she worked as a cook for twenty four years at the Raymond Lodge. Sharon continued to live on the acreage until her passing.

In the early years during the summer, the family would go to Waterton to fish with Arnold’s uncles and brothers and ride horses up into the back country. Years later they would spend many summers fishing at Duck Lake, Montana. Mom loved to cook and bake and was always in the kitchen making something good to eat. She also loved to read, knit and sew, making many beautiful things for her family. She will be forever missed and always remembered by everyone she leaves behind.

Sharon will be privately remembered by her family and friends.
