She was born on February 23,1941, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Forrest George and Dorothy Helen (Levin) Notz. She became a child of God through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on April 20, 1941. She confirmed her Christian faith at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in San Antonio, Texas on April 11th, 1954. Her Confirmation verse was John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand."

She graduated in the first senior class at Highlands High School in 1959. Previously she attended Breckinridge High School. Both schools were in San Antonio. She married David Glen Loeffler on June 12, 1962. While she spent most of her career as a homemaker and helpmeet to her husband, she lived her life in service to her Savior. She took care of the family while her husband studied to be a Pastor. She served tirelessly as a pastor’s wife in LCMS congregations in San Marcos, New Braunfels, Mount Pleasant, Clarksville, Watauga, and Dime Box, Texas. Additionally, she sang in choirs, served on Altar Guilds, taught Sunday School, and helped with Vacation Bible School. She was an avid seamstress and gardener.

Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, Forrest and Dorothy Notz. She is survived by her husband, David, her daughter, Lisa Preston (with husband Norman), her son David Christian (with wife Monica), her sister Bonnie Koenig (with husband James), her grandchildren Lauren Lomonte (with husband Michael), Elisabeth Loeffler, David Preston, Matthias Loeffler, Sarah Loeffler, and Eva Loeffler, her step-grandchildren Jesus Aranda, Daniella Osorio, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park, San Antonio, Texas on July 8 at 11:30am.

While we mourn her physical death, we rejoice in the truth that she is in the everlasting presence of God the Holy Trinity by His Grace alone, through the blood and righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
