Sharon K. Kuhlman

Sharon K. Kuhlman, age 81, of Quincy, died on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 in Blessing Hospital. She was born on September 28, 1943 in Quincy, the daughter of Aubrey and Glenola (Talent) Yates. She first married Robert Reis on November 9, 1963. He preceded her in death on January 25, 1989. She later married James A. Kuhlman on July 12, 1996. He preceded her in death on October 10, 2023.

Sharon worked at Royal Printing for over 30 years. She then later worked for numerous years at Advance Physical Therapy. She was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church.

Sharon deeply cherished her two sons, Tony and Greg, along with their families. She absolutely adored her six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, and she was a constant presence at every QND and QU soccer game while her grandkids were playing—always their biggest fan and so incredibly proud. Not many can say they were blessed to share their life with two wonderful men, but Mom could. She was married for over 25 years to both our father, Bob, and later to her second husband, Jim. Mom was detail-oriented and thoughtful, with a soft spot for every dog who crossed her path. She was famously known as the “treat lady” and brought joy wherever she went. She truly cared about people and made a lasting impression on many. One QND coach once said, “She made me proud to be at QND.” Few can leave that kind of legacy.

We’re going to miss her deeply. Rest in peace, Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma. You were one of a kind.

Sharon is survived by her children, Tony (Melissa) Reis and Greg (Cindy) Reis.
Her Grandchildren who will also serve as her pallbearers: Alexandra (Haley) Reis, Parker Reis and Aubrey (Madeline Bauer) Reis; Connor Reis, Taylor (Reagan) Reis, and Cooper (McKenzie) Reis and great grandchildren, Olive and Daisy Reis and Hayes Reis. Sharon also enjoyed her close relationship with Katherine Kuhlman Rosanova along with her child Isabella, Mark Kuhlman and Karen Kuhlman (Robert) Amos along with her child Eliza. Sharon is also survived by sisters-in-law: Glenda Yates, Susie Reis, Maggie Reis, Ann Budde along with her husband Larry, and Mary Drymiller along with her husband Mike and brothers in law: Dan Reis along with his wife Diana and Fred Kuhlman. Numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives also survive.

In addition to Robert and Jim, Sharon was also preceded in death by a brother: Jack Yates, a sister: Pat Real along with her husband Jim, Sister in law: Darlene Williams along with her husband Gail and Brothers in law: Steve Reis, Gary Reis and Rich Reis along with his wife Gayle.

    Sharon was a kind, caring & fun-loving person. It’s no coincidence that her boys have the same qualities. Prayers to the whole family.
