It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sharon Ann Bishop, age 71, on June 30, 2025. She was surrounded by her family at St. Anthony's Hospital in Lakewood at the time of her death.
Sharon was born in Denver to Dillard and Helen Bishop on October 22, 1953. The family moved to Longmont in 1960 and she grew up on the family farm. It was here she developed her skills in cooking, knitting, and embroidering. Sharon gifted many family and friends with her soft warm knitted hats, scarves, and slippers.
Sharon attended Longmont High-school where she first began working in the school cafeteria as an intern.
This later became Sharon's only job which she did for 35 years.
She enjoyed working in the schools and feeding the children their lunches.
She will be missed by her brother Rollie and his wife Linda, her niece Kasey and her husband Charuk Choksey, their four children: Courtney, Jack, Gavin, and Oliver, and her nephew Dean, his wife Stephanie and their 3 children, Travis, Megan, and Kyle.
Sharon was an avid loyal fan of both the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies.
She was a long-time member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Longmont.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the OUR Center in Longmont in Sharon's memory. Sharon was a volunteer there for 5 years and enjoyed being a member of their community.
A service will be held for Sharon at Mountain View Cemetery in Longmont Colorado on July 10th, 2025, at 10 AM.
