Sharon Sprecher, of Waukesha, passed away with her family by her side at Waukesha Memorial Hospital on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012 at the age of 72 years. Sharon was born in Waukesha on May 30, 1940, the daughter of Louis “Bud” and Dorothy “Jane” (nee Fohey) Koeppen. She married the love of her life, David Sprecher on Aug. 27, 1960.
Sharon and David were former members of Waukesha Bible Church where they belonged for over 40 years. They were most recently enjoying their time at Faith Baptist Church in Waukesha. She worked as Head of Medical Records of the Omni Therapy Group in Waukesha for over 23 years. She loved to entertain her family at home and no one ever left hungry.

Sharon was a living testimony of unwavering faith in her Lord. She had complete trust in the Lord that he would do what was good and right in her life.
