Sharon Lenore Fogen
April 22, 1949 – November 28, 2015

It is with broken hearts that the family of Sharon Lenore (nee Hinz) Fogen of Muenster, SK, announces her death at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK, on Saturday, November 28, 2015.  She was 66 years of age.  Sharon was born on April 22, 1949, to Anton and Eleanor (nee Lange) Hinz at Humboldt, SK.  She grew up there and attended St. Dominic School.  Following her education, Sharon was employed at numerous places.  On October 21, 1967, she married Ron Fogen.  After their marriage, they made their home on the Fogen family farm in the Muenster district, where they lived throughout their lives together.  Sharon and Ron were blessed with two children, Corrie on January 30, 1970, and Nadine on September 7, 1971.  In 1977, Sharon began a 32-year career working at Peavy Mart, retiring at the age of 60 in 2009.  Her ever-present smile, bubbly personality, excellent people skills, and strong work ethics endeared her to staff and customers alike.  At home, she loved gardening, tending to her flower beds, and mowing the lawn (no one did it as well as she did).  Every spring Sharon eagerly watched for her humming birds to come and was sad to see them leave in the fall.  She loved nature, the outdoors, and animals, especially Bear her black lab who, after joining the family, quickly left paw prints on her heart. Quilting was another passion Sharon pursued; many fulfilling hours were spent creating quilts, often while socializing with other members of the Prairie Patchworkers Quilt Guild.  Her ultimate source of joy, however, was her grandchildren.  She was so very proud of them and each one had a special place in her heart.  Sharon will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her husband of 48 years, Ron Fogen; daughter Nadine (Ken) Keller and children Bryton Keller and Tara Keller; Corrie’s family:  Taylor Moisan, Jennafer Moisan and son James, and Lisa Moisan; two brothers and three sisters:  Allan Hinz, Larry (Dianne) Hinz, Judy (Sylvester) Ilg, Carol Hinz, and Kathy (Ronnie) Poppel; special nephew, Wes Fogen and son Michael; in-laws of the Fogen family; and by numerous nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her son, Corrie Fogen; parents, Anton and Eleanor (nee Lange) Hinz; nephew, Dennis Ilg; parents-in-law, John and Theresa (nee Miller) Fogen; and by sister-in-law, Myra Hinz.  The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Wednesday, December 2, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., celebrated by Fr. Ephraim Mensah.  Others taking part were:  Tanya Kohle, crossbearer; Francis Washkowsky and Lorie Morgan, scripture readers; Kathy Wasserman, intentions; Larry Hinz and Kathy Poppel, giftbearers; Tara Keller and Taylor Moisan, memorial table attendants.  An honor guard was formed by members of the Prairie Patchworkers Quilt Guild.  Pallbearers were Todd Matiowsky, Devin Ilg, Wes Fogen, Jeff Hinz, Bryton Keller and Ryan Hinz.  Interment will take place at a later date.  Memorial donations may be directed to either STARS Air Ambulance or Special Olympics.
