Sharon Kay Kratzer

Sharon Kay Kratzer, 77, of Sedalia, MO, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by family, on Monday, September 29, 2025. She was born on November 22, 1947, in Sedalia, the daughter of Roy and Nancy (Cureton) Bozarth, who preceded her in death.

Sharon was a woman of simple joys and a big heart. She loved puzzles of all kinds, diamond art, painting, and music. Her kitchen was her happy place, she found great joy in cooking for others, especially during family gatherings. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she delighted in celebrating it each year. Sharon also enjoyed gardening, trying out her favorite Mexican dishes at El Tapatio, and spending time with her beloved dogs.

Above all, Sharon cherished her family. She treasured every moment with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were her pride and joy.

She is survived by her son, Kevin Duppass; three grandchildren, Megan, Tyler, and Corbin Duppass; three great-granddaughters, Addison, Kinsley, and Josie; and a great-grandson soon to arrive. She also leaves behind one brother, Gary Bozarth (Joy), along with many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Sharon was preceded in death by her two sons, Thomas and Timothy Duppass; her sister, Shirley Johns; and her brothers, Jerry and Ronnie Bozarth.
