Dearest McCarthy family, There are no words..we are just devastated to hear this news. Sharon was such a kind, gracious and beautiful soul with a servants heart.

We send our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers. Love, Sue & Scott Shutack

I have such fond memories of Sharon living right around the corner from us on Walnut. I read this with great sadness, but am lifted remembering her infectious giggle and laughter. For Sharon's family I pray for your heavy hearts, but know you're celebrating her life with fantastic memories. Peace to you all.

Always had light in her eyes, her laugh, her voice. She radiated beauty and peace in all things. An inspiration to many, she leaves a thumbprint on her hearts and example to life better

Sharon was one of the most genuinely kind and caring individuals I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Growing up near her and going to both grade school and high school together, I always admired how she made everyone around her feel seen and valued. Even though we hadn't seen or spoken to each other in several years, I never doubted that she was still the same incredible person I remembered—kind, compassionate, and deeply devoted to her faith. Sharon had a heart of gold, and her love for others was evident in everything she did. Her deep devotion to Jesus guided her actions, and it was clear she was loved by so many, a reflection of the countless lives she touched. Sharon's kindness wasn't just an act; it was who she was at her core. Her memory will always be cherished by those of us who were fortunate enough to know her, as she truly made the world a better place by simply being herself.

I am heartbroken to hear the news about Sharon. To her children, she adored you! She had no greater joy than being a mother (and grandmother). She was my first friend in the Duke TCN. People got us mixed up all the time calling her Sheila and me Sharon. I think it happened so often we stopped correcting people. We bonded because of our love for Jesus, our families, and those babies. I knew when Sharon was at work it was going to be a great day! I loved her dearly! I know she is up in Heaven rocking my baby today. That gives me great comfort. Praying for all of you!

We are praying for each of you. We ask that The Lord envelops you in His loving arms and saturating peace. ❤️

We loved you Sharon and your love of God and family. You will forever be remembered in our hearts. Mike & Rhonda

To all of Sharon's loved ones, we are so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. We hope we can gather with some of you at a later date. We love you, and we are here for you. Dirk and Linda Kuhlmann Shipman

Janet I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like she was a beautiful soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Suzie (Young) Miller

I shared many classes with Sharon throughout my school years. My sympathies go out to her family and friends. May you rest peacefully in heaven.
