Sharon A. (Rabehl) Boehm

Sharon Ann Boehm, 80, died peacefully Sunday, August 7, 2022, at Cedar Creek Manor, Kronenwetter, under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services.

She was born February 11, 1942, to the late Alvin C. and Gladys (Knorr) Rabehl. Growing up, she helped at her family’s business, Jerkwater Supper Club, Dorchester, WI and after graduating from Dorchester High School she married Wayne Boehm on May 27, 1960.  They had a son, Brian, and settled in Wausau, WI.  Her husband preceded her in death in 1997 and her son in 2020.

Sharon worked at Marathon Savings Bank for 38 years until her retirement in 2006.

She was a voracious reader, loved gardening, crocheting, doing all kinds of crafts, spending time at their cabin at Spirit Lake, traveling with her husband and being involved in family life.

She also loved popcorn so much (along with having a wicked sense of humor) that she had a t-shirt made just for her funeral that reads: “Just before I die, I’m going to swallow a bag of popcorn kernels.  MY CREMATION IS GOING TO BE EPIC!!!”

Survivors include her daughter-in-law Deb, grandchildren Brian (Nel) Wanta. David Wanta, Jeremy Wanta, Amanda (Andy) Kunkel; great-grandchildren Kelsey and Austin Wanta and Teagan, Paige and Avery Kunkel.  She is also survived by a sister, Dorothy Rueden; brothers Victor (Patty) Rabehl and Chris (Betty) Rabehl, sister-in law Carol Pinno, numerous extended family members and longtime friend, Dorothy Goodwin.

She was preceded in death by her husband Wayne, son Brian, her parents, mother and father-in-law (Joseph, Sr and Isabelle Boehm), brother Alvin (Butch) Rabehl Jr, nephew Scott Rabehl, and many other beloved family members.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, August 11, 2022, at Good News Baptist Church, 145919 Lowland Lane, Mosinee, WI.  The Rev. Jay O’ Connor will officiate.  Burial will be in Restlawn Memorial Park, Wausau at a later date.  Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services all at the church.  Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Wausau is in charge of arrangements.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com
