Wells Funeral Home
Sharon was born April 14, 1934, and grew up on the west shore of Long Lake, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Dorothy Nelson Dexter and Everett Dexter, and had one younger sister, Lane Ann Dexter, all of whom predeceased her. She lived in and around the Twin Cities area until moving to Southeastern Minnesota in 1999, then to Western North Carolina in 2021. On September 25, 2024, she passed away peacefully with family around her. She is survived by her daughter Heidi Haehlen and son-in-law Dudley Finch of Clyde; North Carolina: her daughter Suzannah (Suki) Hanzel and son-in-law David Hanzel of Prior Lake, Minnesota; her granddaughter Megan Hanelitz and grandson-in-law Reed Hanelitz of Robbinsdale, Minnesota; her former husband Jim Haehlen; many good friends old and new; and Molly, Little Girl, and Yaya Kitty, her beloved cats.
Sharon did not want any kind of memorial. If you would like to plant flowers, a shrub or a tree for her, she would love that. Or make a donation to the organization of your choice in honor of her love of nature and philanthropic spirit.
The care of Mrs. Dexter has been entrusted to Wells Funeral Home of Waynesville, NC and an online memorial register is available at "Obituaries" at www.wellsfuneralhome.com.
