Sharon A. Osburn

Sharon passed away peacefully after declining health from a long-term illness. She was an avid gardener who loved spending time in her garden and feeding her squirrels, chipmunks, and birds, several of which ate out of her hand. She was also an avid reader and loved playing scat and word games. 

She is preceded in death by: her mother Catherine (Rodgers) Glossenger; her father Albert McQuaid; her sisters - Darlene (Dolly) Knickerbocker and Aleene Short; and by her brothers - Ronnie Glossenger and Jim Glossenger. 

She is survived by: her partner John Merrone; her children – JoEllen Osburn (Jeff Doolittle), Ernie Osburn (Leslie), Cindy Manning (Mark), and Chris Merrone; her grandchildren - Justin Osburn, Adina Osburn, Blake Elston (Jessica), TJ Manning (Abby), Maggie Manning, Amelia Osburn, Joshua Doolittle, and Austin Manning; her sisters - Audrey Seymour and Judy Welch; as well as many nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren.

We are grateful that family and loved ones were able to spend her last hours with her. At her request there will not be a formal funeral service. In lieu of attending a formal service, we ask that you help us keep her memory alive by cherishing your favorite memories of her.
