Sharon Kay Mickelson flew away on 1/30/2024. Born 1/21/1944, Sharon Kay celebrated her 80th birthday with her Son Randy, grandchildren, great grand-sons and granddaughter, friends, family, and her loving dog Toby. As a passionate animal lover she always considered her animals to be a part of the family. Animals brought so much joy into her life. Sharon Kay could talk for days about all the dogs, cats, birds, and animals she loved in her lifetime. “Her perfect companion never had fewer than four feet.” Sharon Kay demonstrated personal strength and independence in fighting cancer the last 10 years. Our family has a deep appreciation for Dr. Manchester and her staff for all of the understanding, kindness and love they have shown Sharon Kay through her illness. To Hospice of the Plains Sterling, Chaplain Gary Meadows, Coroner Mike Dahl, a beautiful friend Deb, for bringing a sense of calmness and comfort to our family as Sharon Kay flew away. “I’ll fly away”, by Alan Jackson
