Thanks to Pat Moisio I have just today received the obituary of our classmate Sharon Ann Holt Amelung Wyman. I knew Sharon at KHS, I believe we had a class or two together, but later in my computer company days, McDonnell Douglas Field Service Co., I met and worked with her husband Bob Wyman. Bob is now married to our classmate Sharon Merritt whom I knew better as we went to Robinson School together and were in Scouts together. Herewith Sharon's obituary, another gone earlier than should have been.
"Amelung Wyman, Sharon Ann (nee Holt) died peacefully, surrounded by her family on July 22 at the age of 75. Born to Robert C. Jr. and Lettie Holt on November 16th, 1946 in Nashville, TN, the family moved to Kirkwood in 1955. She was married twice, first to Scott Amelung and later to Robert Wyman, but was a fiercely independent woman in her later years. Each Marriage produced one child: Christopher (Sarah Horton) Amelung and Noelle (Scott Roth) Wyman Roth. She was a lover of music, literature, gardening and animals. She is also survived by her brother Robert (Gay) Holt III, 5 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins....In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in Sharon's name to the Endangered Wolf Center, the St. Louis Zoo or the MO Humane Society." You might remember, if my memory serves, that Sharon's brother Bob was a writer/reporter for the St. Louis Post Dispatch in the past.
I joked with Bob that he had married two KHS65 girls both named Sharon, wondering if there was a reason? There is a good story about how I met Bob and he discovered I too was a KHS65 girl; it's much too long to type, but come to some of our KHS65 "do's" and I might tell it!
