Sharon Ann was born on February 28, 1948, in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin to Marvin and Dorothy (Voigt) Van Sluys. She graduated from Sheboygan Falls High School in 1966. On May 18, 1968, she was united in marriage with her high school sweetheart, Gary Pyrek, in Sheboygan Falls. They started their life and family together in Sheboygan Falls. In 1982, they moved to Portage where Sharon worked at both St. Mary’s Catholic School and Don-Rick Insurance before working as the Deputy City Clerk for the City of Portage for over 20 years until she retired.
Sharon had been very involved in St. Mary’s Catholic Churches in both Sheboygan Falls and Portage where she enjoyed volunteering with the children’s activities. Sharon and Gary loved to entertain and often had family, friends and neighbors to their home. They also loved to spend their summers at Sky High Campground in Portage and always had fun with fellow campers. Sharon enjoyed dancing, reading, sewing, cooking, and always had an exercise routine throughout the years. Sharon and Gary moved to Beaver Dam in 2015 where they spent the summer months. In the winter, they would go to their home in Sebring Village, Florida, where they remained active with their many friends.
Survivors include her husband, Gary Pyrek of Beaver Dam; two daughters, Kimberly (Thomas) Jacobson of Eden Prairie, MN and Jill (Eric) Zimmerman of Milwaukee; four grandchildren, Tom, Ellie, and Abby Jacobson, and Zakery Zimmerman; her sister-in-law, Mona Pyrek of Sheboygan Falls; other relatives and friends. Sharon was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law, Tom Pyrek.

So sorry to hear of this loss for the Pyrek family. I knew Sharon as “Jill’s mom” primarily and loved hearing the stories Jill would tell our PA group of her childhood in Wisconsin. When visiting her folks, prior to Christmas one year, we helped decorate the tree. Now, 25 years later, I still insist on decorating my tree a la Jill’s mom, with the shiny silver bulbs deep on the inside, to reflect the light out. I will always think of Sharon when I strategically place my shiny Christmas bulbs deep on my tree.
