Sharon Lee Ramczyk, 78

Sharon Lee Ramczyk (née Copeland), 78, passed on to eternal life with her children holding her hands on Oct. 10, 2025.

Sharon was born Nov. 3, 1946, to the late Eva Mae and Raymond Copeland. She attended local grade schools and graduated from Maria/Pacelli in 1965. She earned a degree in medical technology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where she later worked for 30 years in Student Health Services.

She married Tony Ramczyk on Aug. 16, 1969, at St. Stephen’s Church. Together they raised two children, Traci and Nick. Sharon enjoyed gardening with Tony. “There wasn’t a flower I didn’t want, a veggie he didn’t want, and neither of us wanted weeds.”

In the summers, she enjoyed camping and family road trips that included stops at antique stores in search of Red Poppy dishes. In later years, Sharon and Tony traveled with tour groups. A few of her favorite adventures were swimming with dolphins, taking a hot air balloon ride in Albuquerque, and attending the Rose Parade.

Sharon enjoyed crocheting, sewing, and cross-stitching, and treasured her friendship with the KnitWits. She loved to read and collect books—sometimes reading a book a day—and enjoyed card games with her family and her Class of ’65 friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Tony (Nov. 27, 2023); her parents, Eva and Ray; and brother-in-law Glenn Walkush. Survivors include her children, Traci and Nick; sister-in-law Berni Walkush; brother- and sister-in-law Mike and Patty Ramczyk; nephew Rick; nieces Rebecca, Kristen, Debra, and Pamela; and their families.

The family extends a special thank-you to Nalin, Nancy, and Ashlynn for the wonderful care they provided to Sharon in her final years.

Sharon wanted to make a difference in life and volunteered at Operation Bootstrap. Memorial contributions in her name can be made to Operation Bootstrap.
