Sharon Dee Muir

"Adieu! Adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still stream,
Up the hill-side; and now ‘tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: --- Do I wake or sleep?"
For her former students, every time they open a book, Keats' Nightingale returns on the wings of Sharon's enduring gift.
After a long illness that she faced with great courage, Sharon passed peacefully with family by her side bidding her adieu. She was born to Dee and Dorothy Clegg, attended Skyline High School, and received degrees in education from the University of Utah and Utah State. At the two universities she met a cohort of colleagues who became fast and life long friends. For over twenty years she taught at Muir, Franklin, Mountain View and Rowland Hall Elementary Schools and tutored until she no longer had the strength. Helping children discover the magic of reading brought her joy beyond measure. She loved taking walks with dear friends, sharing a good book, and shopping for shoes and eyeglasses that complimented her natural beauty.
Sharon and Prescott shared a wonderful life of 44 years filled with memories to assuage the pain of her loss. She is preceded in death by her parents Dorothy and Dee Clegg, aunt Arlene (Warren) and is survived by her husband Prescott; brothers Darrell (Shauna) and Ralph (Kristin) Clegg; daughter Adria (Geoff); son Luke (Meridith); and five precious grandchildren Ella, Lilly, Luke, Evan and Ryan. Nonna, you're "a flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme".
A celebration of Sharon's life will be held at the Salt Lake Country Club on Tuesday, April 5th between 6 and 8:00 pm. Memorial service will be held on Wednesday, April 6th at 11:00 am at Richard Upjohn's beautiful Cathedral of St. Marks, 231 East 100 South, followed by interment at Mt. Olivet Cemetery,1342 East 5th South.
The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Dodson, Dr. Werner and the staff at Huntsman Cancer Institute, Silverado Hospice and Visiting Angel for their dedication and tender care for Sharon.
