Shirley A. Sharafinski

Of Oak Creek was born into eternal life on September 8, 2024 at the age of 84.  She is the loving wife of Ralph Sharafinski of 63 years.  Loving mother of Ralph (Julie) Sharafinski, Todd (Christina) Sharafinski, and Douglas (Lisa) Sharafinski; proud grandmother of 14 grandchildren.  She was preceded by her parents Joseph and Margaret Thill, and her sister Deanna Brackett.

Shirley was a wife and mother who was committed to her faith, her husband, and her children.  She was an avid reader who loved to learn.  She enjoyed crafting, planning a party, giving the perfect gift that looked as if it had been wrapped by Marth Stewart, and some quiet time with a good cup of coffee.  Once her children were older and out on their own, Shirley spent her time volunteering at pro-life centers and a homeschooling group, and time with her grandchildren.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 14th at the Schmidt & Bartelt Funeral Home (930 Main St. Mukwonago) from 8:30 AM until 9:30 AM.  The Funeral Mass will then be celebrated on Saturday, September 14th at 10:00 AM at St. Pius V (425 Grand Ave. Mukwonago).  Entombment will follow at St. Adalbert Mausoleum in Milwaukee and a luncheon will follow.
