Sharon Nancy Howe

Sharon Howe, 87, of Edina, beloved mother, grandmother and aunt, passed away peacefully on January 26th, 2025. Sharon was born in Minneapolis on July 5, 1937 to Clarence and Hildur Lane. Sharon grew up in the Twin Cities riding horses and spending time with friends, family, dogs & pets. She was a "cowboy" at heart and loved western films/shows, books, and music. She loved going to "The Lake" with family or high school girlfriends. Her father was in construction and built her childhood home, 6515 Logan Ave, in Mpls. When Sharon was in high school, her family moved from Logan Ave in Mpls., to Edina, when her father built their home at 4424 West 70th St, down the street from the "new" Southdale Shopping Mall. Meeting family "by the birds", to shop and lunch was a favorite pastime for decades, as well as sewing, gardening, baking, reading, doing her own home maintenance, and watching local sports teams (i.e. Vikings and Twins). Sharon will be remembered for her gentle, trustworthy nature, her independence, strong work ethic, her exceptional sewing ability, and eye for perfection with all her crafts. She had a green thumb, and loved beautiful things with flowers such as dishes, wrapping paper, clothing and jewelry. She also loved having coffee and a goodie every day, perhaps a part of her Swedish family heritage. Sharon's daughters will be forever grateful for her influence and efforts as a single parent. They learned that kindness and integrity matter, to always pay your bills on time, that you can cut your own grass, shovel your own snow, and even mix up a bit of concrete if the steps need patching. Sharon was preceded in death by her beloved sister Beverly Fendler (nee Lane) and brother-in-law Robert Fendler of Burnsville. Sharon will be missed by her two daughters, Suzanne Howe (Bryan Pohl) of Robbinsdale & Stacy Bremner (nee Howe) of North Bay, Ontario, her two grandsons, Nicholas Bremner & Robert Bremner, of the San Francisco Bay area, plus her Fendler nephews south of the Twin Cities, extended Dahlin family, Edina High School friends & neighbors. A memorial gathering will be held on Monday, February 24th, from 10 AM to 12 PM at Washburn-McReavy Edina Chapel, 5000 W 50th St, Edina, MN 55436. Interment to follow at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. Sharon was a passionate Animal Humane Society supporter. Donations to your local shelter would be appreciated.
