Sharon Lee Kilsiemer Obituary (2023)

On June 5, 2023, our mom, Sharon Lee Kilseimer, age 84, was reunited with our dad. Mom was born in Worley, Idaho, on August 21, 1938, to George and Erma McAvoy. Growing up, Mom loved to ice skate and go on adventures with her brother, Terry. Mom enjoyed school and credits a math teacher for her love of numbers. Mom took that love and put it to use as a bookkeeper at Moss Adams. Mom enjoyed volunteering at the Discovery Shop, giving back to those that also went through the struggles of cancer. Mom met the love of her life, George Kilseimer, in the fifth grade, when he tossed a snowball in her direction. The two were finally reunited some 20+ years later, and married on January 19, 1965. Mom is preceded in death by our father, George Kilseimer. Our mom and dad raised four amazing children, Tamra Bode, Ken (Adele) Kilseimer, Greg (Lynn) Kilseimer, and Christy (Darin) Peters. Both Mom and Dad were strong supporters of their kids and grandkids sports and extracurricular activities. Whether it was sports, acting, or dance, they were there. It was not uncommon for them to follow teams across the state, through wind, rain, and snow. Moms ability to show unconditional love was one of her greatest strengths. Coming from humble beginnings, she learned early to value a persons character, not what they had accomplished in life. Mom has passed that legacy onto her children and eight grandchildren, Emily, Karstan, Amanda, Kelsey, McKenna, Ryan, Dylan, and Lauryn. Her greatest joy was to snuggle and play with her six great-grandchildren, Dane, Charolette, Eli, Ellie, Beau, and Vivie. Her memory will always be with us. The life lessons that she taught will forever be ingrained in all of those who were able to know her. Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family.
