Bio

Sharon Friedrich of Maryland Heights, MO passed away on Friday, June 5, 2020. She was born February 21, 1939 in Omaha, NE to James & Elizabeth (Shavlik) Sweeney. Sharon graduated from Mercy High School in 1957 in Omaha, NE. She then went to Sisters of Mercy Convent for 3 years. She went on to get her history degree at Duchesne College and continued with her master’s degree in special education with a focus in reading at University of Nebraska, Omaha. Sharon used that degree to do one of her most beloved past-times, teaching. She initially taught special needs in grade schools. Later she went on to teach the GED program in both North Platte, NE and St. Louis, MO area. Sharon poured her heart in to those she taught and would be overjoyed when her students would graduate and move on to better careers. Sharon was kind, generous, thoughtful and loved to laugh. She could be motivated to take a funny selfie to create laughter. She was dedicated to serving the poor and very involved in St. John Bosco parish. Sharon was also a member of P.E.O. She loved being outside enjoying God’s creatures and creation. Sharon was physically active all her life, riding her bike often and snow skiing into her seventies with a smile on her face all the way down the mountain. The faith filled, common sense and matter of fact way she lived her life was an example to all her family. Her resilience and how she tried to make the best of whatever came her way gave a wonderful example to those who had the privilege of being in her life. Beloved mother of Lisa(Mike) Hritz, James(Melissa) Friedrich. Grandmother of Spencer Hritz, Lucas Friedrich, Cannon Hritz, Meleah Friedrich, Lyndee Friedrich. Sharon is survived by her sisters Patti Jenson and Kathleen Sweeney, and many nieces, nephew, cousins, and friends.
