She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Maquoketa. She enjoyed playing Bingo, camping at the river, and was an avid Notre Dame fan. For many years she and Jim decorated their home with an abundance of lights and decorations at Christmas time and became known by many as the Christmas House in Maquoketa. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.
Those left to honor her memory include her husband, James "Jim" Hohnecker of Marion, IA; a daughter, Katie (Kent) Wedeking of Marion, IA; 3 grandchildren, Allison, Cameron, and Lauren; brothers, Vincent (Sue) Lopez of Dubuque, IA, and Virgil (Jo-El) Lopez of Dubuque, IA; brothers and sisters-in-law, Randy & Vicki Hohnecker of Dubuque, Ron & Lois Kelzer of Dubuque, Tom & Anita Hohnecker of Lake Ozarks, Rick & Deb Hohnecker of Massachusetts, and Ronnie & Elaine Hohnecker of Dubuque; and several nieces and nephews.

"So sorry to hear of Shary\'s passing. Sending thoughts and prayers to you Jim, and your beautiful family."
"Hohnecker Family, I was so surprised and saddened to hear that Shari had passed! I got to know her when she worked at Maquoketa Family Clinic. She was always helpful to me and the other patients, even though I think she had days when she was probably in more pain than the people she was helping! Still she was always nice to me and all of the other patients. And I just remembered we almost always found something to laugh about. And what a laugh she had- it was SUCH a great laugh! It always made me laugh too! After she retired, I still got to see her and Jim occasionally out in the community and always enjoyed catching up with them. I am so sorry for your family\'s tremendous loss. All my sympathy, Michelle Maze Hughes "
