Obituary
VERONA – Sharon R. Filsinger, age 64, entered eternal life, after a battle with cancer, on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Shari was born on March 4, 1961, in Madison, WI to Ward and Betty (Hill) Booth. She grew up in Verona and graduated from Verona High School in 1979. Shari married the love of her life, John Filsinger, on June 1, 1991, in Madison, WI. Once the children entered the picture, Shari was a stay-at-home mom. After the kids graduated and left home, she pursued her passion for wellness and healthy living. Shari liked walking, hiking, and nature. She particularly loved the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and the warmth and the beauty of Arizona in the wintertime. She also had a passion for animals, specifically dogs, including her recent rescue, Luna. Shari would want all of us to live with empathy and kindness and pursue our passions with gusto.
Shari is survived by her husband of 34+ years, John; her children, Ben and Abby; and sister-in-law, Teri Booth. She is further survived by other family and friends. Shari is preceded in death by her parents and brother, David Booth.

I know you are at peace and pray for you, John, Ben & Abby. I will miss our daily conversations, last minute outings and our quirky texting. So glad we did our “Thelma & Louise” trip in April. Until I see you again!!!!!
