We sadly share that Sharon M. Rittenhouse passed away Saturday, August 21, 2021. Her husband, Keith, and daughters, Cassidy, Reagan and Taryn, stayed with her through the evening. Sharon supported District 7430 professionally for the past 8 years and served as the District 7430 Administrative Assistant and later as Administrator, working with leadership and helpful to all District Rotarians who called or e-mailed her.
Past District Governor Janet Kolepp tells us, “She became a companion and confidante to me as we navigated a most unusual Rotary year in 2020-2021. She told me on many occasions that she 'loved Rotary!' Her insight, experience and Rotary knowledge impacted significantly on D7430 success over the course of eight years and with nine District Governors. She was truly a Servant Leader. It was an honor to know her and we will all miss her greatly.”
She was a proud Rotarian and an amazing woman: A wife. A mother. A sister. A daughter. A friend. Sharon always showed up with a smile on her face and a helping hand. She was thoughtful, kind and generous with her time to serve others while keeping her family at the center of her world.
She was a member of the West Reading-Wyomissing Rotary Club serving as club secretary on the board of directors. We are all better Rotarians because of her guidance and the skills and knowledge she shared with so many throughout the district.
Sharon, you will be forever in our hearts!
