What are the effects of withdrawing from Family Sharing of an Apple ID?

If a family member withdraws from Family Sharing, do they lose access to a shared iCloud Contacts list? Can they get restored?

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2

Thanks, Eric. I share contacts with my wife via shared iCloud Contacts using my Apple ID. iCloud Contacts allow her access to Groups in her Mac, as well as to me on my MacBook Pro and iDevices, but I then sync the iCloud Contacts with Google Contacts so that Gmail can populate email addresses. As soon as I removed my wife as a Shared Family member from my Apple ID, she lost access to the iCloud Contacts on her Mac. She can still get Google Contacts but they don't display Groups. How do I get access for her Mac to the iCloud Contacts?
