Bio
Sharon C. Ruzicka, 85, of St. Paul, passed away on Monday, September 16, 2024, at Tabitha at Prairie Commons in Grand Island. Private Family Services will be held at Jacobsen-Greenway-Dietz Funeral Home in St. Paul. Sharon was born on August 8, 1939, in Taylor, Nebraska to Earl & Muriel (VanSlyke) Bartholomew. She grew up in Taylor where she attended Taylor Public Schools. She was united in marriage to John Edward Ruzicka on April 9, 1961, in Taylor, NE. They lived in Taylor and then on a farm near Farwell. After they retired, they moved to St. Paul. She was an amazing cook and always had a dessert ready. She was a wonderful stay at home wife and mother. She was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church in Grand Island. She also was an LPN for a while, working in the St. Francis Hospital, until her body just could not do that kind of work anymore. She then attended seminary school in Iowa and received her degree from the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. She served as a lay minister for many years during school and after graduation. Her hobbies included cooking, sewing, and visiting the ocean. Sharon's greatest enjoyment in life was her family. She loved her grandkids more than life itself. Those left to cherish her memory include her husband, John of St. Paul; son, Jeff (Chastity) Ruzicka of St Paul; daughters, Carrie (Ron) Arp of Brush Prairie, Washington; Lori (Vance) Hansen and Rachel (Mark) of St. Paul; brothers Harold (Judy) Bartholomew of Taylor, Jack (June) of Colombus, Ne.; sister, Gloria Dunbar of Kansas City; grandchildren, Allen (Carrie) Woody, Benjamin (Amy) Arp, Cameron (Lacey) Woody, Joshua Arp, Colin Winkler, Coy Ruzicka, Addie Ruzicka, Lily and Elliot Sazama, great-grandchildren, Jayden, Lucas, and Finnigan. Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, and brother-in-law, Larry Dunbar.
