Sharon Lynn Herzberg (August 22, 1937 – October 14, 2026)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Sharon Lynn Herzberg of Omaha, Nebraska, on October 14, 2026. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family.

Sharon devoted her life to her faith, her family, and caring for others. As a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and “Gigi,” she found her greatest joy in nurturing those around her. She was an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Council Bluffs, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Treynor, Light of Life in Bermuda Dunes, California, and Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church in Omaha. Through these congregations, Sharon and her beloved husband, Richard, formed many lifelong friendships.

She is survived by her four daughters: Christie (David) Dorn of La Quinta, California; Caryn (Greg) Stichler of Elkhorn, Nebraska; Carol (Bruce) Hemmer of Bennington, Nebraska; and Clarissa (Ed) Haats of Council Bluffs, Iowa. She also leaves behind many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard Herzberg; her parents, Wendell and Myrtle McCunn; and her siblings, Marcene and Ronnie.

Sharon’s legacy of faith, compassion, and unconditional love will live on through the family she cherished and the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Memorials, if desired, may be made to Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church, Mosaic, Leader Dogs for the Blind, Deaf Missions, the University of Nebraska Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research, or a charity of your choice.

Sharon’s life will be celebrated on November 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church, 15005 Q Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68137. A luncheon will follow the service.
