Sharon Gurr

Loa, Utah – Our kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, aunt, sister, neighbor, and friend, Sharon Marie Stewart Gurr, age 68, passed away on November 15, 2023, at her home in Loa surrounded by her loving family.

Sharon was born May 21, 1955, in Richfield, Utah, a daughter of Albert Deloy and Hazel Irene Parks Stewart. She grew up in Grover, Utah and had very fond memories of her childhood there, playing games like hopscotch, jump rope, and “mother may I”. She was the youngest child and very loved (spoiled). Her older brother Danny would play paper dolls and tea party for hours with her. She attended Wayne High School and absolutely loved pep club, volleyball, and drama. She graduated in 1973, and later earned a business degree from Sevier Valley Tech in Richfield.

She married William Krantz and had two children. They divorced. She later met the love of her life, Steven Kent Gurr, and they were sealed for time and all eternity June 10, 1987, in the Manti Temple. Steve brought 4 children to the union.

Sharon is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and taught almost every age group in primary over the course of 15 years. Her favorite part about primary was the children and their sweet prayers. She had many hobbies and interests that she enjoyed throughout her life, including singing, playing guitar, crocheting, making paper butterflies, painting, rock hunting, fishing, and swimming. Her favorite thing to do was spending time with her family and especially the rides on the mountain with her beloved Husband Steve. Her family will treasure the memories, and time they had to spend with her. They will miss her and look forward to seeing her again.

Sharon got to enjoy the beautiful sunrises each morning as she traveled to Capitol Reef National Park. She was the superintendent’s secretary for 20 years. She has made many lifelong friends, who will miss her kind soul and beautiful smile.
