Marlys Beth Wilder Rosburg Sha-
ron passed from this life to the next on Brown; her grandchildren, Aaron
May 4, 2015.
Private family services are planned.
In memory donations may be made to
a place she frequently visited, The Car- Daelah, Marin, Kole, Colin, Quinton,
lisle Library Foundation. Condolences
can be sent to Donna Brown, PO Box
158, Fremont, Iowa or to Kathy Fleish-
man, PO Box C, Carlisle, Iowa.
Marlys was born on Feb. 5, 1929
to Lillian May (Wilcox) Wilder and
Frank Hart Wilder, in Clear Lake. She
would attend school in Clear Lake.
Marlys would meet and court Donald
William (Bud) Rosburg. They married
on May 16, 1948 and to that union
was born three children, Kathleen May,
William August (Junior) II, and Donna
Marie. In 1958 the couple moved from
Clear Lake to Minburn. They raised
their family there until 1968 when they
moved to Waterloo.
Marlys was employed as a secre-
tary at the police department where she
worked until retirement. Upon retire-
ment, she and Bud moved to Carlisle.
Maryls quickly made lifelong friends
in Carlisle and enjoyed vegetable and
flower gardening along with many oth-
er hobbies and interests.
In 1995 her husband, Bud, passed
away and she remained on their be-
loved acreage for a year before moving

OBITUARIES
into Carlisle. 1998 would mark the be-
ginning of another phase in Marlys’ life
when she met and joined in matrimony
to Wayne Sharon.
In 2012 Marlys’ dementia forced
her into assisted living and finally to
Court Yard Estates. Her illness never
robbed her of her kindness or her genu-
ine interest in others. She continued to
make friends with the staff and other
residents and always enjoyed entertain-
ing visitors.
Marlys was preceded in death by
her son, William (Junior); her hus-
band, Donald (Bud); her granddaugh-
ter, Tonya Brown; her parents; and her
brothers, Ethan, Dale, Daniel, and Stu-
art.
She is survived by her husband,
Wayne Sharon; children, Kathleen
(Wayne) Fleishman, Donna (Phil)
(Lisa) Fleishman, Breanna Fleishman,
Tony (Tammy) Crawford, Tara (Andy)
Sheets; and by her great-grandchildren,
Chloe, and Kaitlyn; along with step-
son, Larry.
Marlys was fiercely proud of her
family. She loved her children, grand-
children and great-grandchildren and
always took the time to keep up with
what everyone in her family was up to
and was quick to offer a word of en-
couragement, a bit of good advice, or a
wry observation if need be. She was an
amazing seamstress and crafted many
wedding dresses, costumes, baptismal
dresses and home decor items.
Marlys was an amazing person.
She took things as they came, whether
they be good or ill and rolled with life
as it was with a positive attitude. Even
during tough times, she was never bit-
ter or spiteful, choosing instead to be
forgiving and understanding. She was
kind, genuine, discerning, and lov-
ing. She greeted each day as a new op-
portunity to learn something new, do
something good, and make a difference
to those she could. She was a good
wife, mother, granny, great-granny and
friend. Marlys was a great woman and
she will be sorely missed.
