Sharron Parr

Sharron Sue (Hughes) Parr passed away peacefully surrounded by family on November 4, 2026. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandparent, great grandparent, and friend to all.

Sharron was born on April 14, 1944 to Lewis Eugene and Gilberta Jean (Bruning) Hughes in Denver, CO. The family including brother Douglas and sister Deb moved to Rawlins, WY where she was very active in many outdoor and school activities. She carried that love for nature the rest of her life. She attended the University of Wyoming after graduating from Rawlins high school where she became a Wyoming “Cowboy” fan.

She met Ricky (Rick) Parr at the Rawlins Drug Store where she was working at the time. They married in Rawlins on April 4, 1964. They had son Stephen (Steve) and daughter Stacy before eventually moving to North Platte where she was a secretary for several years. In 1975 she and Rick opened Parr’s I-80 Sport Spot in Sutherland, operating it together for over 30 years. Over that time, they had the convenience store, a restaurant, antique shop, and ran numerous other endeavors around the community.

She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Sutherland serving as Elder, treasurer, and secretary for many years. She was active in many service groups and functions including the Hershey food pantry, Sutherland prayer shawl group, and countless volunteer projects associated with the church and Sutherland community. She was an investor and one of the original members that created the Oregon Trail Golf Course where she and Rick played countless rounds of golf together.

Sharron had the gift for craft through her love of sewing, quilting, knitting, and crocheting. She loved the outdoors with passions for hunting, fishing, bowling, and golfing.

Sharron was preceded in death by parents Lewis and Gilberta.
