Private family burial will be in Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery. Friends may

  Sharon was preceded in death by her parents and an infant sister, Lois 
Kaiser. 
  Sharon was born Aug. 31, 1937, in O'Brien County, Iowa, the daughter of 
Henry and Iva (Iverson) Kaiser. She graduated from the University of Dubuque 
and Buena Vista College with a degree in education and received her master's 
degree from Iowa State University. Sharon was a dedicated teacher for more 
than 40 years and a lifelong educator. She taught English and social studies 
for over 15 years in the Fort Dodge Community School District, where her 
passions were children's literature and writing in the classroom. She 
continued her career and was principal at Center Point-Urbana Middle School, 
and finished her career at Coe College as an adjunct professor. She was past 
president of the Iowa Association of Middle Level Educators and taught for the 
Iowa Writers Project. Sharon volunteered at the National Czech & Slovak Museum 
& Library and at the Community Free Clinic in Cedar Rapids. She was a big 
supporter of Vice President-elect Joe Biden, who knew Sharon on a first-name 
basis. Sharon was an avid reader, and enjoyed traveling and decorating her 
home. She enjoyed cooking, family get-togethers and especially having everyone 
home for the holidays. 
  Friends, if they wish, may donate to Save the Children, 54 Wilton Rd., 
Westport, CT 06880, in memory of Sharon.
