Sharma Lee VanDyke Stotts

Sharma Lee VanDyke Stotts was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Surrounded by her family and loved ones, she moved on to Heaven on March 24, 2023, due to complications from pneumonia.

She was born to Marvin and Shirley Steed on October 3, 1947 in Ogden, Utah. After graduating from Ogden High School and raising five children, she later attended Weber State University and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.
