Sharon Beth (Miller) Miltenberger, our beloved mother and wife served the Lord Jesus Christ with all her heart over an incredible 71 year journey. She passed away peacefully in the early afternoon hours of Friday October 21, 2022.
She was born to the late Beverly Ann (Wentlandt) Miller and Milton John Miller on February 10, 1951 in Grand Rapids Michigan. Her father was an educator teaching industrial arts before serving as a director of school planning & procurement and her mother a devout homemaker. Sharon is survived by three younger siblings; Mike, Michelle and Jim. After attending Ottawa Hills high school, Sharon graduated from Grand Valley State University in 1973.
On June 10, 1972, she met the love of her life Robert (Bob) Miltenberger Jr, while attending a wedding in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They were married in 1975. Bob worked as a salesman in the steel industry which would move them several times throughout the Midwest, dwelling in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and eventually St. Louis where they settled to start a family. Bob and Sharon had their first and only son, Bobby, on May 25, 1983. After Bobby graduated high school to leave home, they began wintering in Florida where she found her eventual resting place.
We will remember Sharon for her selfless nature, her caring patience, and her occasional comedic quips. She doted on us with absolute servitude and grace throughout our years as a family. Rarely did she ever show sign of self-pity in the face of adversity and certainly at all times avoided succumbing to depressive thought. It was never about her rather she humbled herself as a servant and so here will be exalted. A Proverbs 31 wife who exhibited all the fruits of the spirit and a loving mother that made her son the envy of all his friends that set foot in her house. Everybody loved Sharon. We rejoice that she is now in Paradise with our Lord.
Sharon Miltenberger is survived by Robert Miltenberger Jr, her husband of 47 years and their only child, Robert Miltenberger III of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
A Celebration of Sharon's Life will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at 3:00 PM at Grace Bible Church, 1055 Pine Ridge Rd, Naples, FL 34108.
