| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | FEBRUARY 2026 | 63 Sharon Ann Reinmuth 1942-2025. With gratitude, we celebrate the joy Mom "Nana" has gifted us over the years. The Reinmuth family shares that Sharon Ann Reinmuth passed on December 24, 2025, at her home in Sun Lakes. Sharon was born in Montevideo, Minnesota, on September 18, 1942. She graduated from Appleton High School in 1960. After further education, she married her high school sweetheart, William Reinmuth, on March 17, 1962, at Big Bend Lutheran Church. They moved with their children, Mark and Kristen, to Southern California and subsequently lived in Buena Park for nearly three decades. When Sharon retired as a Medical Office Manager, she and Willie moved to Sun Lakes Country Club in Banning, California, in 2003. Somehow between a crossword puzzle in the morning and a cocktail before dinner, Sharon found time for crafts like keepsake Christmas decorations and participation in numerous card-playing groups. A natural talent and passion for singing engaged her in the Sun Lakes Chorale. Sharon made the best hors d'oeuvres and she and daughter Kristen delighted in annual Norwegian lefse baking. As an intuitive baker and gourmet cook, Sharon knew dining was a shared and valued practice. Sharon organized travel for herself and Willie. For years they traveled to Colorado to spend time with son Mark, Kelli, and the grandchildren. They flew their Mooney airplane to Minnesota to visit relatives. Trips to the Kenai Peninsula to angle and net salmon was an Alaskan routine for more than 30 years. Further travels took them through many European countries, Egypt, and China. Sharon's life is an affirmation of ordinary and uncommon blessings, kindnesses, and kinship among family and friends, and a knack for well-spirited directness. Preceded in death by her loving and dedicated husband of nearly 57 years, Willliam (Willie) Reinmuth, parents Sherman and Verna Sandven, and niece Brenda Peterson. Survived by brothers John (Cheryl) Sandven, Leroy (Fay) Sandven and sister-in-law, Helen (Tom) Bittman. Eternally remembered by her son Mark (Kelli) Reinmuth, daughter Kris Reinmuth; grandchildren Leslie (Wally) Delwiche, Lindsey (Clay) Crawford, Eric Marty, Tim Marty; great-grandchild Wells Delwiche; and numerous nieces and nephews. Lauren David Cutner passed away on December 7, 2025, in Loma Linda Hospital with his wife, Connie, at his side. Lauren was born in South Bend, Indiana, on January 1, 1939, to Hildah and Howard Cutner. He is survived by his loving wife, Connie, several nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Larry Cutner (Donna) and sister Joyce Muckenfuss (Paul). Upon receiving his bachelor's and master's degrees at Indiana University, he taught Sociology and coached the basketball team at Griffith High School in Griffith, Indiana. In 1969, he accepted an offer for a position as a school counselor in El Segundo, California. Fortuitously, Connie moved from South Bend to Northern California that same year and she and Lauren were married in 1982. They had 43 wonderful years together. They loved entertaining family and friends, traveling, watching Notre Dame football, and simply hanging out together. When Connie retired, they moved to Sun Lakes Country Club. Over the past years, Lauren enjoyed his early morning workouts in the indoor pool and made many friends there. He and Connie returned to their hometown in Indiana to visit family and childhood friends. He was always very content with the little things in life and appreciative of the many kindnesses bestowed upon him by his family and friends — all who loved and miss him. A Celebration of Life will be held at LifePoint Church, 565 N. San Gorgonio Avenue, Banning, on Feb. 3 at 11 am. A casual reception will follow. Lauren was a staunch supporter of veteran associations. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Tunnel to Towers Foundation or Disabled American Veterans would be greatly appreciated.
