Obituary

MADISON - Sharon Cathy “Shari” Lambrecht, age 78, of the Madison area, peacefully passed away on Friday, Dec. 30, 2021. She was born to James and Francis “Carol” Erickson on Dec. 1, 1943.


Shari graduated from Eau Claire Memorial High School 1962 and completed her nursing training in Red Wing, Minn., in 1963. She worked at Central Wisconsin Center as an LPN for 25 years and for an additional nine years as a Workers’ Compensation Coordinator.


Over the years Shari thoroughly enjoyed traveling, downhill skiing, fishing, knitting, crocheting, playing cards, watching the Packers, Brewers, and Badgers, and she especially enjoyed chocolate and spending time with her sweet dog, family, and friends. Sharon was proud of her Norwegian heritage and often showed off her great sense of humor with Ole and Lena jokes!


Shari had a big heart towards the underdog and less fortunate. She was very generous and always held many in her prayers. She was loved by many and will always be cherished and greatly missed.


Shari is survived by her two daughters, Laurie (Todd) Howard and Dawn Lambrecht; and several cousins, nieces, and a nephew. She was preceded in death by her father; beloved mother; brother; and twin sister.


The family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of the earthly angels who cared for and visited Mom, including the doctors, nurses, caregivers, social workers and volunteers at UW and Unity Point/Meriter Hospitals and Clinics, Heritage Senior Living, and Agrace HospiceCare. You are all immensely valued and appreciated. Please take good care of yourselves and keep up your excellent work. The world needs you.


A favorite Norwegian proverb was, “A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.” Sharon was a hero to her daughters in many respects, and to many others. We hope this helps others to hang on and keep going.


A celebration of Sharon’s life will be held at a later date to be determined.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to NAMI - National Alliance on Mental Illness, American Lung Association, COPD Foundation, and Disabled American Veterans.

I loved living next to Shari and have missed her. Her dog was a wonderful companion for her, and Shari enjoyed showing me all the tricks she had taught the dog. I hope the dog is still doing well with someone who loves her.

We had some good times in the old days. Going out to dinner and then driving around to find the best flavor of the day at a Culvers.

My deepest sympathies to your family. When Shari moved in next door to us I had no idea she would become my earthly angel. She helped me and supported me while I was a young mom raising four kids. She would take the kids every Wednesday morning to her house or sometimes to McDonalds to give me some much needed free time. She knew being a stay at home mom with no family in town was hard on me at times. My kids looked forward to those Wednesdays and spending time with her. I loved her conversation and her stories. She was so caring. After she moved away she would follow up with me every so often to catch up on the kids and my life and to share hers with me. We treasure the memories of her love for the cranes and how she would greet them every morning with a dish of corn. She is someone whom I will always love and be grateful for. Sometimes you just know God is watching out for you and sends you an angel. My she rest in peace. Wade and Laura Harris Ethan, Sydney, Selena, Greta

We just learned of Sharon's passing. Just wanted her girls to know that old friends are thinking of them and the fun we shared with their Mom at all the baseball games that Mel and their Dad played in. Remember them as young girls Just know old friends have them in their thoughts.
