Sharon (Lindemann) Hoblit

MESA, Ariz. – Sharon (Lindemann) Hoblit, 77, Mesa, Ariz., and Portland, Ore., died Oct. 9, 2023, following a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. The interment of Sharon’s ashes will be at the Coleridge City Cemetery. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held in Hartington on May 28. Sharon was born on the family farm in Hartington, Oct. 17, 1945, to Lawrence “Stub” and Margaret “Peggy” (Kepper) Lindemann. Sharon attended country school through eighth grade. For high school, she moved into town to attend Hartington High School. Following her 1963 graduation, Sharon went to work for Northwestern Bell in Yankton, S.D. Sharon married Carrol Jones in 1964. They moved to Roseburg, Ore., in 1966, where Sharon worked for Pacific Northwest Bell. They welcomed a daughter, Gina, in 1967. Following their divorce in 1970, Sharon married Wally Hoblit in 1971. They moved to Bend, Ore., in 1973, and welcomed a son, Brian, in 1977. Sharon continued her career with Pacific Northwest Bell (US West/Qwest), retiring in 1999 after 36 years of service. Following her retirement, she and Wally sold their home in Bend and began traveling full-time across the United States in their RV. They covered 48 states in all. Five winters were spent in Florida, where they worked part-time for Disney World in the costuming department. In 2009, they bought a home in Mesa, but continued traveling in the RV during the summers throughout Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Oregon. After selling the RV in 2015, they bought a condominium in Portland, splitting their time between Arizona and Oregon. During their post-RV years, they went on trips to Africa, Cuba, Europe, and the Panama Canal. 05/08/2024 12:00 AM
