Sharon Malheiro was the type of person who wanted to "help people in ways both large and small," according to her former law colleague, Deb Tharnish.
Malheiro, the trailblazing LGBTQ+ activist who helped lead the fight for the legalization of same-sex marriage in Iowa and co-founded the nonprofit oneiowa, died unexpectedly April 10, leaving what her friends and family said is a giant hole not only in their hearts, but in the hearts of Iowans across the state.
On Saturday, nearly 100 of them gathered in Plymouth United Church of Christ in Des Moines in her memory.
