She is survived by her loving husband Duane C. Prettyman, 13 children, 34 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Sheron was born on May 3, 1944 in Long Beach, CA to Margarette Mulhern and Robert Joseph Mulhern. She graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1962 where she competed on the synchronized swimming team and met her first husband, Kenneth Malcolm Idle. They adopted six children and spent 27 years together. While working for a local pediatrician, Sheron met her second husband, Duane C. Prettyman, and the family grew by seven more children. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she loved to sing and held many callings including Relief Society chorister. Sheron was full of laughter and was often the life of the party. She enjoyed boating on Lake Powell, road trips to Disneyland, and especially loved going to the movies with Duane. One of her favorite activities was four-wheeling in Moab where she once tamed the mighty lion’s back in a Chevy Suburban packed with kids. Sheron and her sister, Arleene Wright, were very close and loved to travel the world together. One of Sheron’s favorite traditions was serving her famous tacos or enchiladas at family dinner and playing games afterward. Her heart was always full of love for her family and friends. She could talk to anyone and easily win their hearts. There was always an open-door policy, and she helped many in need by welcoming them into her home. Among many things, Sheron taught us acceptance, love and patience. She was a blessing to our lives and will be missed and remembered by many. The funeral service is scheduled for Monday June 1, 2020 at Murray City Cemetery located at 5490 S Vine Street, Murray, UT 84107.
