Sharon ( Mom, Grandma), Lea Hansen Damm was born to Edwin and Emma Hansen on April 28th, 1955, in the old Culbertson hospital. She gained her angel wings, went to be with her savior, and joined her grandson, Bryan; surrounded by her loving family on December 21st, 2019, in Poplar, Montana.

She attended eight years of school at the McCabe Country School. Her freshman year, she began Culbertson High School, where she met and made lifelong friends. She graduated from Culbertson High School in 1973. In the fall of 1973 she went to school in Butte, Montana. Her college days did not last long however; she was homesick for the farm.

She went on to hold many different jobs. A couple of her favorites were postmaster in McCabe, and daycare in Culbertson. Her most rewarding job was being mom and grandma. All her life, all she wanted was to be a mom and wife.

On November 2nd, 1975 she gave birth to her daughter Rebecca (Becky) Lea. She married Bert Damm on June 9th, 1980. They later became foster parents to several children. Of these children, she later adopted Andrea Lynn, Lee Harrison, Darian Anthony, and Christian Rayne. Her children were a tremendous source of joy for her, until her grandchildren came along.

She loved nothing more than to watch her kids and grand-kids play sports. The Culbertson Cowboys and Cowgirls were her ultimate favorite high school teams. However, she had an undying passion for the Minnesota Vikings. She loved rooting for the underdogs. She spent many Sunday afternoons screaming at her T.V., even after several people pointed out that the Vikings couldn't hear her.

She loved gardening, knitting, and having coffee with friends. She enjoyed attending church and worshiping the Lord. Her faith in the Lord was an inspiration to many. She was baptized and confirmed at the Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Dane Valley, Montana.

Her favorite T.V. show was the Price Is Right, but she also loved to cry at Hallmark and Lifetime movies. In 2016, Sharon met Joe Rogers. She shared her last three years with him. He became an integral part of her family. She also loved spending time with her grandchildren. She even packed up four kids and Grandma Emma, and traveled six hours to Grand Forks, North Dakota for the birth of her first grandson Austin. Her granddaughter Emma, and grandsons Bryan, and Michael soon followed. Nine and eleven years later grandsons Gage and Rayne were born.

Sharon had a big heart, and helped anyone in need. She always put her family first, and her selfless nature knew no bounds.
She will be missed by all that knew her.
