Shari Kay (Goss) Kruger, 44, was taken to heaven to be among the angels on January 6, 2010 at Luther Midelfort Oakridge in Osseo, after a courageous battle with cancer. 
 

   Shari was born on August 2, 1965; loving daughter to Russell and Lois Goss of Brackett, WI. She attended Eau Claire Memorial High School and went on to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, Med Aid and phenomenal woman. For the past 12 years Shari worked at Luther Midelfort Oakridge Nursing Home. Shari truly enjoyed the simple things in life, camping with her family, fishing, having cook outs with family, going to thrift sales and canning with her husband. She loved animals, going to movies and helping anyone in any way that she could. There is so much more to her than words could describe. She loved everything, with a smile always on her face. 
   

Shari is survived by her husband of 27 years, Steve; daughters, Kassandra (Tom) Janezic and Katie Marie Kruger; mother and father, Russell and Lois Goss; brothers, Jeff (Bonnie) Goss, Butch (Cathy) Goss; sister, Sue Murray (Randy Kotlarz); mother and father-in-law, Roger and Marlys Kruger; sister-in-laws, Mary Jo (John) Norby and Jina (Steven) Brantner; nieces, Amanda, Nicole, Cari, Megan and Leeza; nephews, Ryan, Nathan and Lucas; many other family members and her dog, Milo and cat, Panda. 
 
She is preceded in death by her best friend, Judy Green; grandmother, Mary Kruger Lange; grandfather, Charles Henning; uncle, Larry Paulson; grandparents, Lyle and Edna Paulson and Lloyd and Myrtle Goss and cousins, Rodney and Lynn Barum. Shari is and will forever be one of a kind. 
 
The sweetest, most caring, loving, unselfish, forgiving, phenomenal woman who has left a long imprint on our lives and in our hearts. We have all been blessed. She always said "If you can't be good, then be your best." To her daughters she left an imprinting message that she would have loved to share "And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance….I hope you DANCE." She believed in having fun, being happy and enjoying the simple things in life.
