Yuko Sharpee

Women’s Leadership Team

Yuko was born in Japan and grew up partly in Japan and America. She did not grow up in a Christian home, but when her family moved from Japan to Winnetka when she was 8, her next door neighbor took her to church.  She met Christ there through God’s strategic placement of instrumental people, who later founded a Japanese Church in Winnetka, where her parents were some of the first to become believers. She is married to Marc and has 2 adult children: Tomo (married to Brooke) and Natsumi.  She had the joy of being a stay-at-home mom for both children and going right into nannying for a family with 2 boys starting from birth until full-time school coming up in August of 2025 (8 years).  In 2020, she and Marc moved to Northbrook so that her parents could move in with them. 

Yuko and Marc started attending North Sub in 2002.  She has been involved in various children/student ministries and has loved doing life with others through serving with them, doing Bible studies, and spending time together.  In addition, Yuko and Marc love eating, cooking interesting food, and enjoying that with others.
