Remembering
Sharon Ley Lietzow
It is with great sadness that we alert you to the recent passing of our dear friend Sharon Ley Lietzow. Sharon was a lifetime, 50+ year member and Past President of the Houston Tuesday Musical Club. Her accomplishments as President were many, but maybe the greatest of her tenure as president was establishing our club as a non-profit organization. She worked many tireless hours to see this very important designation bestowed the Houston Tuesday Musical Club. Over and above her love for music and the club, she endowed First Prize of the Ruth Burr Competition for piano, which allows a gifted undergraduate or graduate student to pursue their dreams of becoming a musician within the professional world of music.
Below, you will find a link to the obituary which includes her memorial service information. Please keep her dear husband Bob and their family in your prayers.
