Sharon Muir Mooso (90) passed away in her home surrounded by her family on June 29, 2026.

She was born March 14, 1936 to Eddis Ladle Muir and Florence Lorraine Wood in Logan, Utah, and was the oldest of six children. She grew up in the small community of Mendon, Utah where she attended grade school. Her family later moved to another small community, Acequia, Idaho, and she attended the 7th grade there. She then went to Rupert, Idaho for the rest of her schooling and graduated as an honor student from Rupert High School in 1954. The family lived 8 miles from town but she was still able to participate in the Pep Club and Thespians and work as a “soda jerk” at a local ice cream shop. During this time Mom agreed to go on a blind date with Dwain Mooso. That worked out so well they were later married and sealed for time and eternity in the Logan, Utah temple on July 1, 1954.

Sharon was a very hard worker and would work in the fields thinning beets, or sacking potatoes. She also worked in a flower shop arranging and delivering flowers. While living in Heyburn mom worked for Western Seed as a bookkeeper which was a great training ground for her as dad was later transferred to Fremont, Nebraska to start a Simplot Soil builders district there. She was responsible for establishing the bookkeeping systems for that new area. When Simplot later transferred dad to Mountain Home, he brought his secretary with him.

While living in Mountain Home after putting wedding receptions together for her first two sons, she and a very dear friend, Marianne Baker, started their own catering business “Memorable Moments”. She enjoyed many years catering special events. She also owned and ran a Diet Center and craft business in Mountain Home.

While living in Nebraska she worked with Dad putting on many fundraisers to help raise enough money to be able to build a church building for the

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She would spearhead a bazaar and bake sale every weekend at a local store. Her homemade bread was one of the highlights and dad would help her to grind the wheat for the whole wheat bread. One weekend she baked 102 loaves of homemade bread for the bake sale. She enlisted several of the neighbors ovens to accomplish this and expressed her gratitude by gifting each of them with a loaf of homemade bread the following week.

Church service has always been a priority for mom and she set an amazing example of what Christlike service really was. Growing up the boys were very accustomed to coming home from school and having a freshly baked cake or pie on the counter but they knew better than to get into it because it might be going to a neighbor or friend instead of their dinner table. Mom loved cooking and baking and would share that talent with many others as her way of expressing love for them. She has held many church callings in her life from Cub Scout Den Mother to Ward and Stake Relief Society President. She loved serving others and raised her sons to be aware of others in need and to lift that helping hand whenever and wherever they could.

One of Sharon’s biggest passions in life was quilting. She remembered watching her grandmother make quilts and helping by getting underneath the quilt to push the needle back up through to the top when needed. She made her first quilt when Galen left for college and that started a strong love for quilting. She belonged to a quilting club and really enjoyed those dear friends she made there. She has made so many quilts for loved ones, for the Humanitarian project with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and for the Senior Centers in the area of Caldwell. Mom and her very special friend, and partner in crime ,Edie loved doing quilts for any reason they could find. One year mom made 52 quilts for family members. She loved quilting so much she would teach quilting classes to help share that love and her knowledge with others.

Mom was a great crafter. She would spend the year planning and making craft items which she would sell at bazaars and craft fairs. She would even host some of the smaller ones in her home. She would time these events just right so many people could get a lot of their Christmas gifts from her creative hard work.

Another great love of mom’s was the County Fair. She entered her first county fair when she was eight years old with muffins and stewed prunes receiving all blue ribbons in the Cache Valley Fair in Utah. She continued to enter County Fairs with her jams, pies, bread and quilts taking home may blue ribbons for her efforts.

Sharon was sealed to Dwain Mooso in the Logan Utah Temple. They were later blessed with four sons- Galen, Wade, Bret and Darin. Mom and Dad lived in Mountain Home for 34 years and in Caldwell for 21 years.

Sharon is survived by her four sons, Galen (Sandy) Mooso, Wade (Kathy) Mooso, Bret (Karrie Jo) Mooso and Darin (Kyla) Mooso; 15 grandchildren; 41 great-grandchildren; her sisters Renae Strutz of Oro Valley, Arizona and Rena Muir of Boise, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her parents, Eddis and Lorraine Muir, sister Carolynn Hansen, brothers Dal Muir and Ray Muir , and a great-grandson Declan Mooso.

Our family would like to express our deepest gratitude for the loving care mom was given from Journey’s Hospice, Jasmine and Jessica as well as the Homewatch caregivers that were so great during those last few days.
