Sharon Schutte

The Lord has called Sharon Kay Schutte (Boren) home to rest suddenly and far too soon. She passed away peacefully on December 2, 2013. Sharon was a lifelong resident of Kit Carson County. She was born July 16th, 1946 in Flagler Colorado to Charles Henry Boren and Rodella Henrietta Boren. She was the third of their five children. Sharon’s most cherished childhood memories were created at the Boren Ranch, located Northeast of Siebert on the Republican River and in the family’s additional home in Colorado Springs. After graduating from Burlington High School in 1964 Sharon attended College in Denver and brought her expertise back to Burlington where she was an entrepreneur and owned and operated two beauty salons. Sharon was married to Allen Henry Schutte in 1970 and from this union they had a beautiful daughter, Amber Lea Schutte. This union ended in 1978. From fashion to farming she dazzled the community and touched many lives. Sharon had a kind heart, a gentle soul, and always welcomed those who entered her home. As a devoted daughter Sharon was the caregiver for her mother’s last 15 years. Upon her mother’s death, Sharon moved back to Burlington and enjoyed jumping in the car with her beloved pup, Elvis, to visit her daughter in Greenwood Village to spend quality time. They enjoyed traveling, playing cards and board games, and exploring the sights and sounds of the city. Anyone who knew Sharon was truly blessed to have known such an amazing human being and she will be profoundly missed. Those who are left to cherish her memory are her loving daughter Amber Lea Schutte of Greenwood Village CO, her brothers, Charles “Chuck” Henry Boren Jr. of Buena Vista CO, Gary Ray Boren (Rebecca) of Tooele UT and her sister Carolyn Sue Richards of Burlington CO as well as numerous nieces, nephews and a host of friends. Sharon was preceded in death by her parents Charles Henry Boren and Rodella Henrietta Boren and her brother Roger Lee Boren. The drums did resound, The angels did sing. They welcomed her home, A child of the King.
