Sharon Arlene (Dague) Philpott was born on January 21, 1936 to William Francis and Laurel Arlene (Gentry) Dague in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She passed away at her home in Cambridge, Minnesota on March 23, 2015, at the age of 79. Sharon was preceded in death by Jim Philpott, her husband of 54 years. She is survived by her children, Raymond, Sharilyn Philpott-Marsh and Troy Marsh, and granddaughter Kathryn.

In 1958, she married Jim Philpott and they began their family a few years later. They moved to Cambridge, Minnesota in 1976. The Philpott’s loved living on the banks of the Rum River, where they enjoyed the birds, deer, and other wildlife. Sharon was an excellent cook and baker. No picnic was complete without her fried chicken and potato salad, and no holiday will be the same without her peanut brittle and other confections. Sharon was dearly loved and will be missed by all of her family and friends.
