Sharon Lee (Polley) Dedolph

Sharon L. Dedolph, age 80 of Tigerton, passed away on December 19, 2025 at her home.

Sharon Lee Dedolph was born February 18, 1945 in Rosholt, WI, daughter to the late Edward & Ada (Omitt) Polley. She attended Tigerton Schools and later graduated with the class of 1963. She was united in marriage to Lee Dedolph on August 8, 1970 at St. John Lutheran Church, Tigerton, where she was a life-long member. Sharon worked at the Village Cafe in Tigerton for a time, later moving up to Elcho where she owned and operated Elcho Restaurant for about eight years. Eventually re-locating to Tigerton in the mid 1980’s, Sharon once again worked at the Village Cafe as a manager, and also ran The Lumberjack Restaurant. Sharon loved visiting with people from the community, which is why she thrived in the social atmosphere of a restaurant. Additionally, Sharon ran the local video store in Tigerton for many years. In her younger years, she competed in bowling leagues and loved to play Sheepshead with friends and family. As a huge Elvis fan, Sharon really enjoyed listening to The King’s entire catalog of music. She cherished being chauffeured around town by her grandchildren while they were learning to drive; and often hosted them for sleepovers. Christmas and the holidays was her favorite time of year, her decorating always over the top and she loved it that way.  

Sharon is survived by her children: Todd (Sue) Dedolph, Kerry (Chris) Schwalbach, & David Dedolph
