Sharon Kay Macken
Sharon Kay Macken, 81 of Rochester, died Thursday, November 24, 2022 after a long illness.
Sharon Kay Renaux was born on January 11, 1941 in Rochester to Robert and Leona (Schoonover) Renaux. She was part of the first graduating class of John Marshall High School in 1959. After high school, she married her high school sweetheart, Patrick “Pat” Macken, on September 5, 1959 at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Rochester. Following the birth of their children, she spent several years providing daycare for family and friends. She later went to work at IBM, retiring in 1993 after over 20 years. She loved spending time in Arizona over the winters. She loved bowling and was on several bowling teams. Family meant more than anything to her and she especially loved to cheer for her grandchildren while attending their events. Sharon loved animals of all shapes and sizes; everything from bird feeders to keeping treats ready for any dogs she met. Cats however, held a special place in her heart, having owned and loved several.
She is survived by her husband Pat of Rochester, her children Patti (Ed) Stanton, Mark (Carrie) Macken both of Rochester. Her sisters Barbara (Chuck) Swancutt, Lori Renaux, both of Rochester and Wendy (Phil) Welti of Round Rock, TX, grandchildren Jennifer Stanton, Eddie (Alicia) Stanton, Jordan (Amber) Stanton and Kelsey Macken all of Rochester, 10 great-grandchildren and many loving nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents.
The memorial service for Sharon will be held on Tuesday, November 29, 2022 at 3:00pm in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home. Visitation will begin starting at 1:30pm in the chapel prior to the service. Burial will be at a later date in Calvary Cemetery, Rochester.

Condolences
The family of Sharon Kay Macken has received the following condolences.
Pat & Family, Sending you my love and prayers. I am so grateful for my fond memories of Sharon's friendship. My boys, Jim and Jeff, and wives thoroughly enjoyed the time we were able to spend with you two in September.
Karen
Patti, Pat, Mark and all the Macken Family:
I have nothing but heartwarming, wonderful, special memories of Sharon. Having spent countless hours at the Macken house growing up, I have dozens and dozens of them! She was an incredible person who tolerated Patti and my endless teenage antics. One of my very special memories is when Patti was madly in love with Donny Osmond. She had posters all over her room and of course album after album. Sharon used to come upstairs and talk about Donny and listen to music with me and Patti. She got just as excited about him as Patti did and it was so cool! I mean, who's Mom does that? It was so much fun. Her laugh was contagious. You could not help but laugh when Sharon laughed and when Pat started laughing too, we just lost it. Your family is so special. Mark, thank you for tolerating us. I don't know how you did it sometimes.
I can only imagine the hole in your hearts, not having that amazing woman with you. You better behave though, because I know she is watching everyone closely from heaven. Hugs to you all and thank you Sharon for the memories. They are truly priceless.
Pat,
We support you and your family at this difficult time. Thinking of you as we send our sympathy
