Obituary
|
Sharon A. Googins, 72, of Minnesota City passed away Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at her home surrounded by her loved ones.
Sharon was born on May 23, 1946 in Arcadia, WI to Alphonse and Lillian (Rossel) Schmitt. On March 18, 1967 Sharon married Steve Googins. Sharon and Steve had three daughters. Her life revolved around raising her girls; and taking in and raising multiple other children as well. Anyone that was in need she would help in any way she could; a place to stay- she always made the room, an ear to listen, and a place to do laundry- clean it or air it. Sharon was always the go to person in the family. She helped everyone and was always the secret keeper.
Sharon's passion was people. She obtained a degree in Social Work from Winona State University in 1986. The rest of her working career was spent working in Home Health Care and after retirement a short time at Watkins Inc.
Sharon loved thrift shopping, antiques, enjoyed crafts, completing puzzles, and taking pictures. Her Catholic faith was very important in her life and enjoyed going to church.
Sharon will be deeply missed by her daughters, Stephanie (Jeremy) Berg, Staci Googins, and Shannon (Elliott) Norwood; grandchildren, Violet, Trisha, Savannah, Lewis, Ebony, James III, Constance, Sabrina, Elliott, Malcolm, and Miles Steven; great-grandchildren, Eliyanna, Tristan, Corbin, Campton, Cemise, Kelin, Lewis II, Gianna, Waymon ll, Hezekiah, Adelina and 5 on the way; sister, Luetta (Don) Ellis; and her special family Bonnie Googins, Jeremiah (Alanna) Pelowski, Sarah Googins, Sam Googins, Iysis, Waylan, and Sydney Ashton. And a host of nieces and nephews and many, many friends that became her family. She is preceded in death by her parents, ex-husband Steve; siblings, Dolores, Russel, and Mary; and nephew, Gail Allen.
A pot-luck Celebration of Sharon's life will be held at Farmers Park on Saturday, August 25 from 1pm-6pm. Family and friends are invited to stay for lunch, share memories of Sharon, and listen to some of her favorite music. Hoff Celebration of Life Center - Goodview is assisting the family with arrangements.
Private family graveside services will be held at a later date.

The mark Sharron left on this world is that of a star... many not in the spotlight has had that big of impact I think in seeing the responses to her passing.
She told me the night (among so much else) I spent an hour alone in the hospital with her the Journey she had traveling around the United States & how when back home the pictures had been erased but another trip was to be had and how a moment was difficult on the trail of tears was due to her health.
There will always be a piece to my family's puzzle missing now with her passing but will always carry with me our conversations we shared alone.
R.I.P

How can anyone forget that wonderful smile. She will gently asked questions while she was advocating for the vulnerable; She light up when she talked about her grandchildren. May she rest in perfect peace with the Lord.

Brush away old heartaches.
Learn from our mistakes.
Another year is finally over.
A new dawn awakes.
Let the old year out.
Welcome the new one in.
Bury the bad things of the past
As a new year now begins.
Make your New Year wishes
As simple as you can.
Pray for peace and love,
Not for wealth or fame.
Pray for health and happiness.
Pray for your fellow man.
Pray for all the ones you love.
Pray for those who’ve lost their way.
As the midnight hour chimes,
We leave the old and embrace the new.
I wish the things you wish for yourself,
And may God’s love stay with you.
What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of the year.
|
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true…
Happy, Happy New Year,
We wish you all the best,
Great work to reach your fondest goals,
And when you’re done, sweet rest,
We hope for your fulfillment,
Contentment, peace and more,
A brighter, better new year than,
You’ve ever had before.
Many of us are dreamers, in 2021 become doers.
Make your thoughts, actions and become pursuers.
Don’t make resolutions without an action plan.
The secret to success is right in your hands.
I’m writing this in a state of shock,
Watching the clock—tick tock, tick tock,
Advancing, approaching, relentlessly,
A brand new year; Oh, can it be?
The calendar says the same thing, too;
Time races, vanishes for me; Boo hoo!
No, wait! If time flies, I’m having fun!
A year of fun! It’s gone! It’s done!
I now embrace the blur of time,
Because it simply means that I’m
Too busy with pleasure, joy, delight
To mourn the passing days’ swift flight.
So I’m wishing you fast, happy days,
Pleasuring you in myriad ways,
Filled with happiness and cheer,
Oh Happy, Happy Bright New Year!
As the world celebrates
With fireworks and cakes
I’m standing here alone
Far away from home
With nothing but a suitcase and memories
As the stars surround me like water
I raise my hands in full surrender
To God, my Redeemer
Lord, this year is far from ordinary
I’ve never seen such extraordinary
People, places and things
Amazing human beings
Searching for purpose, just like me.
Looking around, I wonder
Since a year is like clashing thunder
Booming suddenly
Then vanishing instantly
Why waste time uselessly?
The old year came and went
I hope your time was wisely spent
On helping others and working hard
So that many people may regard
Your lifetime as truly great
And not just because of fate
So learn this lesson, but not from me!
Try it yourself and you will see
Making a difference starts with one step
With one foot, then the next
So walk right now into the light
And find yourself shining bright
Don’t worry what people think
Because right now you’re on the brink
Of showing others what is true
Happy New Year, from me to you.

Sweet and Short New Year Poem
|
Another year is coming to an end,
Have you planned where will you spend?
This night is going to be awesome
Because it will be the last day of the year
So, forget everything and do cheer
Because this year is going,
Wait for another bright start
Where you would welcome it from your heart!
Happy New Year!
Only a night from old to new!
Never a night such changes brought.
The Old Year had its work to do;
No New Year miracles are wrought.
Always a night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm of sleep!
Each morn is New Year’s morn come true,
Morn of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only a night from old to new;
Only a sleep from night to morn.
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year born.
Another year is coming to a close.
We can forget our troubles and woes.
For me, this year was tough.
It brought many emotions, was tearful and rough.
Now another year is approaching fast.
Let’s hope it’s a New Year with love and health; let’s hope it’s a blast.
May all of your dreams come true
And you find peace and love in all that you do.
May this world know the gentle sound of a hush.
May it calm all its anger and slow its pace from the rush.
May we all hear the sound of joy
And push away all that hurts, that destroys.
The New Year I hope will be good to us all.
Care and calm, a helping hand when we fall.
Listen more, slow down, and say I love you.
Stop for a moment; take a breath, take in the view.
Appreciate your family; tell them you care.
Do something exciting, a thrill or a dare.
Enjoy all that the New Year may give.
We have but one life, so let’s learn to live.
It’s a New Year, a brand new start.
Always remember, live and love from your heart.
Wishing each and every one a year to behold,
And may it be full of wonders for you to unfold.
Love, hugs, and kisses too…
A very happy New Year from me to you.
Happiness depends on more than years.
All one’s moments gather to a wave
Passing in a rolling swell of tears,
Passions too immense to name or save.
Yet New Year’s is a crest on which to sing,
Now poised between the future and the past.
Each awaits what course the fates may bring,
Winds that never touch the things that last.
Years turn and turn with an hypnotic grace
Even as the depths of life lie still.
Although above one cannot silence face,
Remember that below the divers will.
My Happy New Year wish for you,
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get,
A year in which you cherish,
The past year’s memories,
Full of bright expectancies,
I wish for you a holiday,
With happiness galore,
And when it’s done, I wish you,
Happy New Year, and many more.
