Sharon Kay Allison was born October 15, 1944, in Charles City, Iowa, the daughter of Wilbur and Ida Marie (Love) Kollmann.

Sharon lived every day of her life for her family. She was happiest when she could spend time with them. When she wasn't busy reading, embroidering or cooking, you would find her outside helping with the animals and farm work. She took great delight when there were new baby calves to care for in the Spring.

Survivors include her husband, Melvin; one son, Jim (Gail) Allison of New Hampton; three daughters, Sandy (Al) Haubrich, Amy Allison and Jennifer (Jason) Grisim all of Mason City; five grandchildren, Justin Haubrich, Kira Schwickerath, Marissa Schwickerath, Cassidy Allison and Valerie Allison; one brother, Wilbur (Terry) Kollmann of Harpers Ferry, IA.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a daughter and son-in-law, Cyndy and Joe Perkins; one brother, Wendell Kollmann; and one sister, Charlotte Krumrey.
