It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Sharon Lenore Gough Norris, our beloved mother & grandmother, sister & friend to many passed away on 4/10/25. Sharon was born to J. Clyde & Sarah on 3/20/42 in Wendell, ID. She was retired but worked for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Department of Agriculture for 40 years. She grew up on a farm, but raised her family in Boise, ID.
Sharon is survived by her children, Stacie Norris, Stuart & Julie Norris, & her only granddaughter, Shalyn, brothers Jack (Barbara) Gough, Dorothy (Jerry) Gough, Eldon Gough, Lavar Gough & numerous nieces & nephews that she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her beloved brothers & sisters – Phyllis Robertson, Jerry Gough, Joanne Gough & Linda Gough.
She was very creative & loved making times special for her children, granddaughter & family. She always had a smile for everyone she met & made friends of all kinds everywhere she went. She traveled extensively for work but loved being in her own home. We will miss her smile, generosity & love.
Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Doctor’s Hospice, who provided excellent care. No memorial service will be held. Her ashes will be interred at Wendell Cemetery.
This saying was in her dressing closet & she looked at each & every day. It is a mantra she lived her life by.
I want to age with grace and style,
never be labeled as boring or get called an old lady.
I want to be forgiving, loving and nurturing.
I want to create beauty and make the most of each day
till I fade away from pure joy.
