Koehne, Sharon Dale
Obituary
2024
It is with the heaviest of hearts that Sharon Dale Koehne went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, May 29th, 2024. She passed away peacefully at home just days after losing her wonderful companion “Baily” (her aging “Shih Tzu”).
Sharon Dale was born July 30th, 1939 in Houston Texas. She grew up with her beloved sister Beverly, brother Jack and her mother Thelma Wade and was a tremendously loving and adventurous young lady, able to light up a room with her beautiful smile and witty humor. Sharon met her husband William “Bill” Koehne, in the early 60s and spent her years as a nurturing mother and wife. The two lived in Houston before moving south near the water. They spent many years of love raising their children in Bayou Vista, Texas as patriarchal members of this seaside community. Sharon’s proudest achievement in life was her family. Together, Sharon and Bill built a family on Pompano Street that could only be described by neighbors as both loving and loud. They worked as a team to raise much-loved children, care for a stream of pets, and welcome anyone and everyone into their home. They affectionately named the whole family crew “Warf Rats”. The endless family gatherings, water adventures and camping trips built lasting relationships that are special family lore. Sharon is survived by her loving sister Beverly Brown, (deceased husband Ray Brown Sr.); brother Don Ray Wilson, (wife Ellen); daughter Sherri Covin-Christensen, and sons Perry (wife Amy) and Walter Koehne (wife Donna). Sharon joins now in heaven, her beloved husband William Frank Koehne, and her son Morris Dale Covin, mother Thelma Elberta Taylor, father Jack Edwin Taylor Sr., and brother Jack Edwin Taylor Jr. Sharon, “MiMi” was a caring and passionate Sister, Aunt ; and a Grandmother to so many beautiful children. She was a great, great grandmother! Her eyes would light up when she spoke of her many crowned jewels. MiMi always had a childlike awe and love of life. Whether it was riding motorcycles, sailing, fishing, hunting, or traveling. she truly had a special knack for enjoying all of the little things life has to offer and helping others do the same. This joy for life extended right up to the very end. She never ever wanted to put anyone out and her thoughts were for what she could do to ease your pain or discomfort despite her own ailing health. Sharon loved life! She loved traveling to exotic locations with her daughter Sherri, helping her church community at St John's as a Sunday school teacher or serving on committees, racing motorcycles, raising cows and donkeys as pets, leading scouts, teaching children to water ski, catching the most fish (always), gardening, working as a waitress in hard times, working in a local school cafeteria, or supporting three generations of public servants and military leaders. She did it all with grace and beauty. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend Mimi’s funeral service on Friday, June 7th, 2024, at 10:00 am at St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery, 12488 Newberg Rd., Cat Spring 78933.
