Sharon Benesch
SHARON BENESCH
Cedar Rapids
Sharon Rae Benesch, 68, entered eternal rest Thursday, Oct. 8, 2015, at Willow Manor Assisted Living Center in Deming, N.M. She suffered a long-term illness with Lyme disease and then a fast moving cancer overtook her fight, and she was called home to be with all the other angels. She is now free from all her pain.
Sharon was born Dec. 31, 1946, to Gerald Charles Benesch and Georgia Murtha Leuvida in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and leaves behind a loving husband, Harry.
Sharon was a loving wife and a very beautiful, compassionate and generous woman.
Sharon was a friend of Bill W. and will be highly missed by all of her family and friends.
In lieu flowers, we have asked donations be sent to First New Mexico Bank in Deming, N.M., to help with burial expenses.
Cremation has taken place at Terrazas Crematory. Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels and Crematory, "Trusted care for the ones you Love" (575) 546-0070.
