Sharlyn served as an administrative assistant for St. John Lutheran School in Battle Creek, Nebraska for many years. She was a member of the Messiah Lutheran Church in Lincoln.
Shar had a huge heart for her family and extended family – loving to spend time with them. She loved her time at St. John where she doted on hundreds of her “kids” in the school – spanning some 30+ years. When it came time for her to be promoted to “Grandma” – she was so delighted. Her creativity was unmatched as a Grandma – involving the grandkids in picnics, rodeos, ice cream cones, and even a paper boy in training. Shar was blessed to become a Great Grandmother in the past few years to Gus and Lu, who were near and dear to her heart. Shar’s legacy of faith and family will be passed on for many generations.
Family members include her husband, Rodney; son Derran Porath, Columbus; daughter Stephanie (Christopher) Kuchar, Lincoln; grandchildren Daniel (Taylor) Kuchar, Omaha and Annika Kuchar, St. Paul, MN; great grandchildren Augustine and Lucia Kuchar, Omaha; brothers Rodney (Arlene) Zohner, Battle Creek and Robert (Judy) Zohner, North Platte; sister Suzanne (Robert) Buckendahl, Battle Creek.
