Sharon married Gene M. Nolan on October 21, 1961 at St. John’s Catholic Church in Prairie du Chien. Sharon and Gene lived in southwest WI before settling in Rochester, MN in 1969.
Sharon was an avid reader, especially religious and political content. She loved tending to her flowers, listening to music, had a lifetime love of boating on the Mississippi river, and enjoyed evening happy hours with her husband. Sharon’s love for her family was as big as her love for the Lord.
She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Gene, her son Kevin (partner Vicki) , daughter Patti (husband Paul), daughter Bridget (husband Scott), her 2 grandchildren, Connor and Abby, who were the apple of her eye, her beloved siblings (Patty, Peg, Larry, Tom, and Lori), and a gaggle of adored nieces and nephews.

Condolences
The family of Sharon A. Nolan has received the following condolences.
Nolan family: Oh, so many fond memories of sleep-overs at the Nolan house?. I can still here Sharon saying to Bridget and I, when we had gotten the giggles or were carrying on about some silly nonsense, “ Honestly, girls!” What a deeply sad occasion upon which to recall so many happy an heartwarming times. I only just learned of Sharon’s illness last week. Barely time to process it... I can only imagine it from your perspective. Let her strong faith and love of God , bring you comfort, knowing she was met by the open arms of her Lord Jesus Christ. She is no longer suffering and her body is perfect. She knows no more struggles like the ones on this world. She is eternally at peace. What a humble and faithful servant! May you all find pleasure and joy in the many memories held in your hearts, and may the days to come bring a gentle healing. Sharon will no doubt be remembered by many with warmth and smiles for the way she touched their life. May God bless you all, Nolan family, with the peace and comfort that only He can give.
