About Sharron

Sharron McCann, 83, of Northfield died Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at the Methodist Campus of Mayo Clinic Hospital, Rochester.

Sharron Dawn Dean was born in Girard, Michigan on August 25, 1937 to Ezra and Marguerite (Ambrose) Dean. She was raised in Coldwater, Michigan and graduated from Coldwater High School in 1957.

She married Donald McCann in 1957 and they moved to Long Beach, California where their first son, Michael, was born. They moved to Wheaton, Illinois, where their daughter, Lorilyn, was born. They then moved to New Brighton, Minnesota where Don finished Seminary and Sharron became a pastor’s wife, which she enjoyed and considered a calling. They moved to Hutchinson, back to New Brighton and to Kensington, Connecticut.

They divorced in 1978, after which Sharron moved to Shoreview, Minnesota, to Grand Marais and eventually Northfield due to needing dialysis each week.

Sharron had many interests but loved being a Pastor’s wife and anything that involved helping people.
