Sharon Sue Linn, the daughter of Charles and Bernice (Schutt) Tracy, was born on May 3, 1947 in Fort Dodge. She was raised in Fort Dodge until she completed the eighth grade, at which time the family moved to the Schutt farm southeast of Eagle Grove. Sharon attended school in Eagle Grove, graduating from Eagle Grove High School in 1965. Following graduation, Sharon worked in Des Moines for a short time while Jerold was in the service. On August 28, 1966 Sharon and Jerold were united in marriage in Woolstock. The couple moved to Amarillo, Texas until January of 1969 when they moved to the farm south of Clarion. Five years later they moved into Clarion and have lived in the same house since that time. Sharon stayed home and raised their three children until 1983 when she started working at Hawk Golf Bag. In 1994, she began working at Place's, later becoming Pamida, which is where she was employed at the time of her passing. Sharon enjoyed reading and watching the Food Network. She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and did everything she could to spoil them at Christmas. She attended services at the United Methodist Church in Clarion.
