Sharon Lynn Gilster, 67, of Sheboygan, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, August 27, 2019 at her home.

Sharon worked at the Point Drive in Sheboygan Falls as a waitress but her greatest joy was taking care of her grandchildren. She was an avid pet lover who always had wings or paws in her house. She loved playing the Double Diamonds at Oneida Casino.

Besides her parents and husband, Philip, she was preceded in death by her sister, Cathy Wedward and her brother-in-law, Dale Fisk.
To honor her wishes, there will be no public service but her family will have a private gathering at a later date.
The Olson Funeral Home & Cremation Service has been entrusted with Sharon's arrangements.
