I’m not sure how many of you Trinity Alumni will remember Sharon Brandt. She taught 2nd grade at Trinity in 1960 - 1965. Not sure about the exact dates. She was related to The Nordling’s, Don and Charlotte. I believe the boys, John and Ole went to Trinity.
I received the email below and wanted to and to keep her family in your prayers.
Thank you

Blessings, friends and family of Sharon Brandt Willweber. I am writing
to let you know that Sharon was called away from this vale of tears by
her Heavenly Father on Sunday, June 23.
She had just returned on Thursday to her home on Oahu from a great
trip to Kona: a family reunion for her and Lloyd with their three sons
and wives, and seven grandchildren. We had a fabulous time together!
She flew home Thursday, went into the hospital on Friday -- the
doctors diagnosed pneumonia and sepsis. She went quietly and quickly,
just as she wanted to go. She loved her Lord!!
A beautiful prayer was written by the present pastor of a church Lloyd served:
Merciful Father, the generations rise and pass away before You. You
are the strength of those who labor and the repose of the blessed
dead. We give you thanks for all who have lived and died in the faith,
especially for Sharon, our dear sister. In this body You gave her life
and poured out Your Holy Spirit when You washed her in the renewing
waters of Holy Baptism. By the same Spirit you led her to confess with
her mouth that Jesus is Lord and to believe in her heart that You have
raised Christ from the dead. Give us faith to commend our sister to
You and to await with confidence the resurrection of all You saints,
living and departed; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, Who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen.
I am emailing as many people as possible from her contact list -- she
knew and loved so many people. I apologize for any inconvenience and
I'm hoping this doesn't go to spam. It was easiest to email as many as
possible directly from her contact list. You may write to me at
[email protected] if you would like information on a possible
memorial in Oregon sometime this summer. And you can reach out to
Lloyd at [email protected] if you would like.
Blessings to you!
In Christ,
Monica Willweber, (Sharon and Lloyd's daughter in law, wife of their
youngest, Steve)
