Sharon Zeigler

Sharon Lynn Zeigler, 65, of Idaho Falls passed away September 23, 2018. She was under the care of OneSource Home Health and Hospice and her loving family. Prior to her passing, Sharon wrote the following: I was born on February 13, 1953 to Raymond and Mary Lee Zeigler. I grew up in Georgia, along with two brothers, Mike and Marshall Zeigler. I received a BS in Physics in 1975, from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a MS in Physics in 1977, from Memphis State University. The first time I came to Idaho was in 1976 when I participated in a three-month summer student program at Argonne National Lab. That summer I fell in love with Idaho and came back in August of 1977, when I went to work for EG&G. I worked at the INEL (contractors and DOE) for 23 years, and during that time I worked with many highly competent and interesting characters. Many years ago I heard that second chances are gifts of grace and this was when I finally understood the concept of grace and it's importance in my life. I was shocked to realize the many gifts of grace I've been given. On April 9, 1994, I married Charles Noble, who was the most important gifts of grace to me. His love and sense of humor meant the world to me and kept me going through difficult ordeals. He showed me what it meant to be treated and loved in the right way. We traveled extensively and spent many enjoyable miles together. We had the most incredible life with each other. I was warmly accepted by his children, Larry Noble (Rhonda), Becky McGuyer (Mike), Patti Noble, and Greg Noble (Tracy and daughter, Olivia) and grand-daughters, Alison Bailey (Jay and great-granddaughter, Althea) and Brooke McCullough (Ed and great-grand-daughters, Kaitlyn and Haley). In 2002, I learned that I had ovarian cancer. I have had many years of an active and a wonderful life as a result of the care of a group of gifted doctors: Dr. Karen Zempolich, Dr. Dane Dickson, Dr. Jeffery Hancock, and Dallin Gambles, PA-C, along with a very dedicated team of chemo nurses. The following quote, which is one of my favorites, has been attributed to several authors. When you have come to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, believe that one of two things will happen. Either there will be something solid for you to stand on or you will be taught to fly. A gathering will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. Thursday, October 11, 2018, at Wood Funeral Home (273 N. Ridge Avenue). In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made to the Idaho Falls YMCA at 155 N. Corner Avenue, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402.
