Sharron Colleen (Wiltse) Banwell was born July 22, 1938 to Myron and Florence Wiltse in rural Charles City. Sharron was raised and educated in the Charles City and Nashua areas, graduating from Nashua High School in 1956. Following high school, Sharron worked various jobs and raised several children of previous marriages before meeting and marrying the love of her life, Bruce Banwell, in 1970. The couple made their home in Williams for 8 years, prior to moving to Eagle Grove, where they have resided ever since. In July of 1971, Sharron was baptized as a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, living out the rest of her life as a faithful sister.

More than anything, Sharron loved taking care of her family. She was a faithful and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
