Obituary - Sharon Yvonne (Anderson) Nold

Sharon Yvonne (Anderson) Nold, 70, died Friday, March 15, 2024, due to natural causes.

Sharon, daughter of Ralph W. and Wilma L. (Roper) Anderson Jr., was born June 16, 1953, and raised east of Havre on the family farm.

She was active in 4-H and O-Mok-See in her junior years and was an excellent horseback rider. After her first marriage didn't work out, she married Wayne Nold April 21, 1979, and they were able to celebrate their 38th wedding anniversary before Wayne died in 2016 after losing the battle to colon cancer.

Over the years, Sharon worked and was a homemaker always keeping an impeccable and stylish house. Sharon, a natural caregiver, proudly worked as a teacher's aide with special needs children at Devlin School. She took care of Wayne's aunt in Anna's later years, and when Mom and Dad moved to the Eagles Manor she took a job in the cafeteria to be close for their daily needs. She also cared for Wayne at home through the final day of his life. Losing Mom, Wayne and Dad really took the wind of out Sharon's sail, but she always did her best to keep a good attitude. Till the very end she contributed to everyone around her, trying to make their lives just a little bit brighter.

Family and friends, all of whom she considered family as well, were important to Sharon, and her refrigerator and bulletin boards were overflowing with photos of the generations of people she kept close to her heart. She also loved the many dogs she had through the years, and she was always prepared to spoil any dogs that came for a visit.

Hobbies and reading were important to Sharon. Always artistic, she enjoyed various arts but favored watercolors. She was an excellent interior decorator and turned all of her homes, including her room at the care center, into a work of art. After reading the Harry Potter books she was a fan to her final day. Harry Potter and Gryffindor memorabilia colored her fashion style and home decor, and she shared this love with others.

Sharon was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Nold; parents, Ralph and Wilma Anderson, Jr .; and sister, Ellen McMahan.

Sharon is survived by her brothers Robert (Kathy) Anderson of Billings and John (Pam Burke) Anderson of Havre; brother-in-law, Steve McMahan; nieces, Pam, Sandy and Christy and their families; plus her many friends.

Per her wishes Sharon's ashes will be buried along with Wayne's in a private ceremony. Contrary to her wishes, family and friends will gather to celebrate her life for a final goodbye 2-4 p.m. Saturday, June 15, 2024, at Ralph's old shop. Sharon's Facebook page will have directions to the shop and updated information until the date.

Cremation has taken place. Holland & Bonine Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
