Kyra Linn Sharon)

Kyra Linn (née Sharon) 56, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday morning February 8, 2015 at her residence in Warsaw, IN. Kyra was the first daughter born to Walter and Heidi (Knauss) Linn on August 8, 1958 in Lafayette, IN. She attended Warsaw High School and graduated from Grace College and Theological Seminary. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Sciences and Mathematics and a Seminary Certificate of Biblical Studies. Kyra was a software consultant, a teacher, a published author, a percussionist, and a string and woodwind musician. Much of Kyra’s adult life was enjoyed in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she practiced WuShu martial artistry and mastered the art so well that she became a teacher at her studio. She also spent time in Hawaii where she enjoyed rock climbing, scuba diving, and caving. Although she was disabled in 2006, she continued her love of learning by studying, researching and publishing a book. She also began compiling a memoir for her mother who immigrated from Germany in 1956. Kyra was never lacking in tenacity no matter the obstacle. She lived life to the fullest until the very end, and now she is free. Kyra is survived by her sisters Helga Tess (Glenn) of Warsaw, IN and Heidi Jamesen (Mark) of Grand Rapids, MI; two nieces Sarah (John) Northuis and Rachel Jamesen, and a nephew Luke Jamesen all of Grand Rapids, MI. Kyra was preceded in death by her father. A visitation with family and friends will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2015 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapel, Warsaw.
