I remember helping Sheron to prepare for a presentation to the early childhood special education coordinators from all over the state. She would turn very red until she finally started talking about providing excellent services to the children we served. I considered her a dear friend and know she will be missed greatly. Susan Miner
My Aunt was always so supportive. She asked me to participate in a project for her work and I was very hesitant because I was a seperated single mother and felt a little like a failure. She told me my input was just as important as everyone else’s and that I could have some very different and useful points of view. I ended up enjoying being part of that project and working with her. She was always very loving and supportive. She would take the time to listen and give her advice. She was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul and a golden spirit. I was very blessed to have her in my life.
I only met Sheron and Don a handful of times, but the times were enough to leave an impact. Greg and Laura are dear friends of ours, and didn’t want to see us spend our Thanksgiving holiday alone. All of our family is in northern NY, someplace you don’t travel to in the winter months unless you’re okay getting stuck there until spring thaw. Arriving at that first Thanksgiving dinner, both my husband and I felt like we were imposing. We should have let this family celebrate as a family. After no more than 10 minutes in Sheron’s home, it was clear we were family too. She put us to work with a big smile and a hug. I remember helping with something in the kitchen (kinda hilarious, because I’m dreadful in the kitchen) and Jonathan was setting out folding chairs. She had a warmth about her that just made everyone comfortable. Wishing peace and comfort to all of you.
Mary and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Sent with love and remembrance.
To a woman who lives in our hearts and will greatly missed. -Love Joe, Shirley, Elizabeth, Michael, Isaac, Brad and Megan
SHERON WAS A DEAR LONG TERM FRIEND, SHE AND HER HUSBAND DON AND THEIR TWO SONS GREG AND BRIAN ARE A WONDERFUL PART OF OUR FAMILY’S HISTORY, GOING BACK OVER 40 YRS. SHE WAS A GREAT LADY, AND WE WILL ALWAYS TREASURE THE TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER WITH HER AND HER GUYS. LOVE YOU SHERON
I have many memories of Sharon. We were high school friends and college roommates. We were in each other’s weddings. I am devastated to hear of her death. Sympathy to her family.
With heartfelt condolences, Danny, David, and Dallas Cochran and families.
Sheron and I grew up together as little children. We were two of four cousins near the same age and our parents were all good friends together (cousins and siblings), sharing birthdays, holidays and childrens’ parties at my grandmother’s house (Sheron’s Great Aunt Ruth). As we grew older and my family moved out of state, we kept in touch only through our mothers. After they were gone, we nearly lost each other and I just re-connected with Sheron a few short years ago. I know I have missed most of her life, but I send my love to all of you, her family, and encourage you to stay in touch with your own extended families. I will pray for peace and comfort for you now and in the weeks and months to come.
Don, may the precious memories of Sheron be a comfort to you at this time. Sincerely, Rose Fairhurst
Sharon fought the good fight Condolences to cousins. Love to you.
I loved working with Sheron at the Department of Education. She was a really sweet lady who was passionate about her work. She will be missed.
I was so sad to see this today. I have many fond memories of Sheron from when I was on the Indiana Special Education Advisory Council. She was always so kind and knowledgeable and always willing to explain and help out all families in need. You all will be in my prayers.
