Sandra S. Sharp, known affectionately as "Sandy", passed away on Friday, April 12, 2024, at Miller's Merry Manor in Warsaw at the age of 89. She was born on September 17, 1934, in Huntington, Indiana, to her parents Hersel and Margaret Welker.
In her early years, Sandy grew up in the Huntington area, graduating from Huntington High School in 1954 before dedicating herself to the role of a homemaker. On March 21, 1954, she married her true love, Kenneth Sharp. The two shared a wonderful 69 years together before his passing just over a year ago in April of 2023. They spent their lives raising their three sons, Danny, Scott, and Tim. Sandy was also an office secretary for several years while taking care of her family.
Sandy was a woman of many passions and interests. She found joy in playing the organ and was even a member of an organ club in Mishawaka. Additionally, she enjoyed crocheting and knitting, skills that brought warmth to those around her. Her strong faith led her to become a longstanding member of Dutchtown Church of the Brethren, where she found community and longtime friendships.
Above all else, Sandy's proudest accomplishments were her family. She is survived by her sons, Danny (Vicki) Sharp of Milford, Scott (Cindy) Sharp of Hudsonville, MI, and Tim (Mary) Sharp of Zeeland, MI. Her legacy lives on through her eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren who will always cherish the memories created with their beloved grandmother. She now joins her husband, Ken, and great-grandson Benjamin Sharp in eternal peace. She is also reunited with her parents, sisters, Peg Young and Patsy Hefferon, and brother, David Welker, who have gone before her.
Titus Funeral Home is entrusted with the care of Sandy and her family. Friends and family may gather for visitation at Titus Funeral Home in Syracuse, 1001 S. Huntington St. Syracuse, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, from 4:00pm until 8:00pm.
