Mrs. Brasher, 66, of Chatfield, MN died Monday April 15, 2013 at St. Marys Hospital, after a lengthy illness.
Sharon was born on October 17, 1946 in Rochester, MN to Marvin and Katherine Sample. She graduated from Chatfield High School in 1964. On May 24, 1970 she married Alvin M. Brasher in Nashville, TN. The couple lived a short time in Russellville, KY before returning to Chatfield where they resided until present.
Sharon worked at the Rochester State Hospital and Woodside Nursing Home as a LPN. She then went to Rochester Community College where she earned her Registered Nursing Degree at the age of 38. She then worked at Samaritan Bethany Heights as a RN for 14 years until becoming disabled. She was an excellent nurse and mentor to all who knew her; not only in her nursing career, but in her personal life. She has always showed love, caring and compassion to all.
Survivors include her daughter Lisa (Tom) Shonka of Chatfield; grandson Christopher of Chatfield; sister Kathleen McAllister and family of Byron, sister Barbara Olson and family of Rochester and brother Ronald Sample and family of Chatfield. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband Alvin.
Sharon loved spending time with her family, cooking and baking for the holidays, and gambling at the casino. Even though these activities became difficult, she always had a smile, joke or even a laugh to brighten the day of others. She was truly loved and will be dearly missed by her family.
Memorials are preferred to the family.
