Sharon Reimold, M.D.

Sharon Coplen Reimold (Dec. 27, 1958 – Nov. 13, 2024) died surrounded by her husband and children after living for more than two years with cancer. She was 65 years young.

Sharon had an amazing memory that allowed her to care for patients and master clinical medicine with deceptive ease. As a physician, she navigated a male-dominated profession, ultimately taking on roles at UT Southwestern as clinical chief of cardiology and later vice chair of clinical operations and faculty development in the Department of Internal Medicine. She worked in Dallas for 24 years and remained in her position until the end of her life, empowering women in medicine and helping junior colleagues advance in academic rank. Beyond work, you could find her deep in a pile of books of all genres, following the Northwestern Women’s field hockey and lacrosse teams, strolling in the Arboretum or enjoying conversations over coffee or a Sonic diet cherry limeade.

Her investment in the lives of those around her was unparalleled and she quickly became a trusted confidante. She is sorely missed by her family, friends, colleagues, mentees and patients.

Sharon is survived by her husband, Andreas, and her children, Nicholas (Jillian) and Kimberly (Adrian); her mother, Barbara; and her brother, James (Lesa).

A memorial service will be open to all from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, at Sparkman Hillcrest, Dallas. Family will share their memories of her and hope that some friends, colleagues and patients will also speak of their remembrances at this time.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a fund being set up at UT Southwestern Department of Internal Medicine in honor of Dr. Sharon Reimold.
