Sharron Louise (Knutson) McPhail, 78

Sharron was born in Windom, Minn., where she spent her younger years. After losing her mother, she moved to Washington state to be with other family members. This is where she met her husband, Michael McPhail.

In her passing, she left behind her husband, Mike, daughter Michelle, son Michael, seven granddaughters, one grandson and two great-granddaughters.

Sharron was an amazing child of God. All lives she touched were enriched by her, making her loved by all. She received the 2023 "Citizen of the Year" award in Rathdrum. Words can never express who she was. Her strength lifted everyone. Our earthly loss has been Heaven's gain. This I say in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
