Sharon Pross

Sharon Marie Pross, 79, of Atlantic, died Friday, November 18, 2022 at the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic.

The daughter of Harold and Dorothy (Knight) Lane, Sharon was born May 7, 1943, (one of twins) in Atlantic, Iowa.  She grew up in Atlantic and attended Atlantic Community Schools.  Sharon was united in marriage to Richard L. Pross, also of Atlantic, in 1962.  They moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota that same year.  She worked at both the Elks Lodge and the Bethesda Nursing Co. of Aberdeen, for several years.  Sharon later spent many years employed at Cass County Memorial Hospital.

Working outdoors in her garden and crafting were great pastimes for Sharon.  Her true joy was always time focused on grandchildren and later, teaching great-grandchildren to swim.  She loved pets and had a number of Dachshunds over the years, Scooter being the most recent.
