Sharon Deibert, 80, Fargo, ND, passed away on Thursday, June 9, 2022 at the Sanford Hospice House in Fargo. She fought a courageous battle against cancer and was under the care of Sanford Hospice.
Sharon Louise Rymerson was born on July 26, 1941, in Brookings, SD, to Selmer and Stella (Johnson) Rymerson. Sharon graduated from high school in Brookings, SD.

She was working at South Dakota State University in 1965 when she met Edward Deibert. Ed and Sharon were married on June 27, 1966, in Brookings, SD. They had 55 years together.

Ed’s education and work took them to Kansas State University, University of Nebraska, and eventually Fargo at North Dakota State University. Sharon worked at various universities along the way. Each of these stops turned them into sports fans. Sharon and Ed enjoyed watching Kansas basketball, Nebraska football, NDSU football, and Minnesota Twins baseball together.

While they were in Lincoln, Nebraska, their only son, Josh, was born. He was Sharon’s greatest accomplishment, and she loved him unconditionally.

Sharon was a stay-at-home mom. Over the years, she had a cake decorating business a craft business and also cleaned houses. She loved to visit with the people that she worked for. She was a member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church and served on several different committees over the years.

Sharon loved animals. Her favorite part of cleaning was bringing treats for the dogs at the houses. Her backyard was a haven for the birds that she loved to watch and feed.

Sharon loved to bake and cook and would share her recipes with anyone that asked, and was always on the hunt for a great new recipe. In more recent years, she would make sure that her grandkids had a regular variety of their favorites at her house and their own. Ginger snap cookies, scotcheroos, apple cake, chocolate cake, and blueberry pie to name a few.

The greatest joy for Sharon was her role in helping to care for her three greatest blessings, her grandchildren. She loved to spoil them. Sharon was at every hockey, baseball, and soccer game that her grandkids were playing in town, and she would text them after their games to tell them how well they had done and how proud she was of them. Over the past year, when she couldn’t make it to their games, she would watch them on her phone or TV. She was at every church event, every concert, and the list goes on. Her love for them was overflowing. She adored them, and they adored her.

Sharon is survived by her son, Josh (Carla) Deibert; grandchildren, Lincoln, Dominic, and Jasmine; sister, Sandra (Art) Wilber; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ed; parents, Selmer and Stella; and siblings, Stanley Rymerson, Shirley Hansen, Sylvia Bren, and Sandy Rymerson.

Josh and Carla would like to express their thanks and appreciation to the staff at Roger Maris Cancer Center, Sanford Hospital, and the Sanford Hospice House.
