Sharon Katherine Kost

Sharon K. Kost, 64, of Fairmont, MN (Formerly of Des Moines, IA), passed away after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Sharon was born on November 29, 1946. in Des Moines, Iowa.

Sharon married the love of her life, Larry Kost, on February 4, 1967. From their union they welcomed a daughter and a son to their family. Sharon worked in the hotel and restaurant industry her entire life; most specifically she was a cook. As her career went on, she found that she greatly enjoyed being around her customers, getting to know them and joking around.

Sharon loved to crochet, do ceramics and other crafty things. She was actively involved in church - first at Indianola Heights Christian Church in Des Moines, Iowa, and then the Christian Church of Fairmont, when she moved there after her husband’s passing. Her pride and joy in life were her grandchildren, biological and all of her adopted grandchildren.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Tanya (Jay) Doyscher of Fairmont, MN; son Dion (Kimberly) of Fairmont, MN; grandchildren Aaron Campisi, Joseph Schwartz, Blake Campisi Dakota Kost, Seth Kost and Kelvin Bahr; her mother-in-law, Frances Kost of Burlington, IA; her sisters Bev Harris and Linda Gesualda and her brother, Dick Miller as well as many nieces, nephews, friends and “adopted” children and grandchildren.
