Sharon D. Wollman: 1946-2021

Sharon Dorene Wollman, 74, of Bridgewater, S.D., passed away on May 14, 2021 at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D. A memorial service was scheduled for 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 19 at Neu Hutterthal Mennonite Church of rural Bridgewater.

Sharon Opperman was born in Huron, S.D., to Alvin & Bessie (Burma) Opperman on Sept. 18, 1946. She was united in marriage to LeRoy Wollman on Oct. 9, 1963. They lived in Bridgewater until 1966, in Freeman, S.D. until 1978, then to a farm southeast of Bridgewater until 2002 when they moved to their present farm south of Bridgewater. Sharon worked several jobs — the nursing homes in Freeman and Bridgewater, Syncom & Toshiba in Mitchell, the Ortman Hotel in Canistota, S.D., the Freeman Country Inn in Freeman — most of them at night so she could still be at home during the day with her boys. She was baptized and was a member of the Neu Hutterthal Church. She loved LeRoy dearly and her greatest joys were her sons, granddaughters and especially the great-grandbabies. Her face would just light up whenever she spoke of her family.

She and LeRoy had 4 sons: Brian, Watertown, S.D.; Blaine, Watertown; Brad (friend Pam Weber) Emery, S.D. and Barry (Deb), Alexandria, S.D. She had three granddaughters: Joni (Brett) Jager, Sioux Falls, S.D.; Cassi (Ryan) Lenger, Fulton S.D. and Lindsi (Jasen) VanWoert, Sioux Falls; as well as four (with a 5th on the way) great-grandchildren: Norah and Nolan Jager, Blair and Bennett Lenger and baby VanWoert.

She is survived by her husband, her boys, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her sister, Karen (Allen) Gross and several nieces and nephews.

She was proceeded in death by her parents, both her mother and father in laws as well as a nephew.
