Lucille Rose Scharper, age 93, of Osage, Iowa, died July 13, 2021 at the Mitchell County Hospital in Osage, Iowa.
Lucille was born on November 4, 1927 at the Mitchell County hospital in Osage, Iowa, the daughter of Leo and Anna (Bethke) Hartwig. She was baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church (Rock township) near the family farm. She graduated from Newberg #5 in 8th grade, leaving school to help her folks on the farm until she was employed by Larson's grocery in St. Ansgar. Lucille married William Scharper on August 16, 1953. They moved to Osage where they lived for 57 years until Bill's death in 2011. As Bill's health deteriorated, Lucille chose to care for him at home, including a feeding tube for 12 years.
Lucille provided daycare for numerous children over 30 years. She loved each one of them. Much time was also spent supporting her own kid's activities. She was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church and enjoyed serving in a number of Circles. Lucille enjoyed gardening with Bill, baking, decorating the house for each holiday, and canning/freezing each seasons' harvest. She also enjoyed her craft club. Lucille worried about everyone's safety and always asked, "Is everyone okay?", while leaving one last "I love you. Be careful."
Lucille is survived by a daughter, Mary Jean Olson; and a son, Kevin (Jill) Scharper, all of Mason City. Grandchildren are: Dan (Valarie) Olson, Nicholas Olson, Riley (Katlyn) Scharper, Russell (Finance' Morgan) Scharper, Carly Liv Scharper and one step-granddaughter and family. Great grandchildren are Noah, Elijah, Jonah and Micah Olson. One sister, Lois Dutcher of Manly, also survived her along with numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and their families.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Bill (all his siblings and their spouses), son-in-law David R. Olson, sister Jeannette and (William) Neuman and brother -in-law Lee Dutcher.
