Sharon Kuntz

Sharon Ann Kuntz, 81, of Mandan, passed away with her family by her side on May 28, 2026, at Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center after a long battle of FTD Dementia.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 AM on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Mandan. Burial will follow at Mandan Union Cemetery.

Visitation will be from 5-6 PM on Monday, June 1, at Weigel Funeral Home in Mandan with a Parish Rosary and Vigil at 6 PM. The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service at the church on Tuesday.

Sharon was born December 27, 1944, in Bismarck, to Frank and Ann (Leingang) Gangl. In January 1963, she married the love of her life, Frank Kuntz. They lived in Virginia and California before moving back to Mandan in 1969, where they settled and raised their children, Mike and Bonnie. Sharon worked at Ben’s Fairway and Dan’s Supermarket. She retired as a meat wrapper after many years at Dan’s. Sharon enjoyed fishing, shopping, cooking, and spending time with family and friends, but her greatest joy of all was her grandchildren. If you knew Sharon, you know she loved to entertain for the holidays and you never went hungry.

Sharon will be deeply missed by her family including her children, Mike (Karen), Nocona, TX and Bonnie Kuntz, Mandan; 5 grandchildren, Michael (Kari) Kuntz, Cassey (Tanner) Henry, Shelby (Juan) Herrera, Jacob (Shannon) Willer, and Amanda (Jason) Lantz; 12 great grandchildren, MJ, Dylan, Suri, Makenna, Saddey, Gunner, Emrynne, Jax, Gabe, Annabel, Jameson, and Evelyn; siblings, Kenny (Linda) Gangl and Jeanette Pohlman (Norman Fisher); and sister-in-law, Sue Gangl.

Sharon was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Frank Kuntz in 2024; her parents, Frank and Ann Gangl; brother, Jim Gangl; brother-in-law, Bernie Pohlman; and son-in-law, Wes Vietz.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the nurses and staff of Missouri Slope for taking such good care of our Mom.
