Sharon Knust

Sharon Marie (Flack) Knust was born June 1, 1942, in Milbank, S.D., to Wesley and Harmina (Broekema) Flack.
Sharon had five brothers and three sisters. She attended and graduated from high school in Custer, S.D.
She met her lifelong sweetheart, David, while living in Custer. From there she followed him to Rhode Island where they were married. She married David Lee Knust July 2, 1960, in Bristol, R.I.
After David was honorably discharged from the Navy, they moved back to Rapid City, S.D., where their son, Dan, was born. A few years later they moved to San Diego, Calif., to be closer to her mom.
While living in San Diego she gave birth to her second son John. Next, they moved north to Orange County, Calif., where they lived for several years. In 1976 David, Sharon and the boys moved to Billings, Mont., to be closer to her older sister. Billings is where Sharon would call home until she went to meet Jesus in heaven.
It really is an impossible task to try to sum up the life of such a wonderful lady in just a few paragraphs, so allow us to list a few of her greatest attributes. Sharon was resilient, self-less, sacrificial, welcoming, giving, encouraging, loving and kind.
Sharon  went to be with The Lord, on Thursday, May 12, 2022, when she died in her sleep at home. She was 79.
Sharon was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, David; sisters, Patsy (Steve) Hughes, and DeDe (John) Reichert; sister-in-law, Mary Flack; and brothers-in-law Steve Hughes and John Reichert; she is survived by Robert Flack, Lloyd (Louise) Flack, Harold (Arlene) Flack, Wesley (Rhonda) Flack, Wiley (Kathryn) Flack, Alice (Chuck) Wilson; sons Dan (Rachael) Knust and John (Alice Pagitt) Knust; and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.  
Funeral services will be held Friday, June 24 at noon at Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis. The service will be officiated by Pastor Dan Knust.
