Sharon Faye Haack, born December 22, 1946, in Sioux Center, Iowa, to Fred and Alice Langstraat, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2024, at The Bridges of Ankeny after a courageous battle with cancer.

Sharon grew up in southern Minnesota, graduating from Pipestone High School. After graduation, she married Robert Haack and together they raised two sons, Todd and Troy.
