Sharon Anne Rekoski, age 79, formerly of Park Falls, passed away on Friday May 22, 2026, at ThedaCare Hospital in Appleton. Sharon was born on June 16, 1946, in Wisconsin, the daughter of John and Ruth (Conn) Hempler. She grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she met and married the love of her life, Roger R. Rekoski, on August 25, 1962. The couple shared their life together in Milwaukee for several years with their two sons before following their good friends to Park Falls in 1973. They purchased their forever home in 1976 where they had their daughter and continued to build their life together.
Sharon worked hard and loved caring for her family more than anything. Of the many hats she wore through her life, she worked at Park Manor, St. Croix, and Phillips Plastics, tended bar, and at one time operated a restaurant with her husband. Sharon enjoyed reading, camping, spending time at the family cabin, sewing, puzzles, baking, and most of all she loved playing cards. She treasured time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and was known for her lively personality and her love of laughter.
She is survived by her children: Roger J. Rekoski of Oshkosh, Scott (Josh) Rekoski of Wausau, and Shannon (Donald) East of Little Chute; her grandchildren: Brad (Cassy), Harli, Hunter, Addisyn; her great-grandchildren: Preston, Nevaeh, Riley and Lilly; along with many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Sharon was preceded in death by her husband, Roger; her parents, and brothers, Eugene and Johnny.
A Celebration of Life for Sharon will be held June 27, 2026 in Little Chute. Further details to be provided by family in the coming days.
