Sharon L. Sherman

With a twinkle in her eye and an infectious laugh that could light up a room, Sharon Leah Sherman, born on December 26, 1950, in Vancouver, Washington, completed her earthly journey on March 20, 2026 at UMass Memorial. Many heartfelt thanks to all the medical staff who gave her the best care right up to the end.

Although born on the West Coast, she instantly fell in love with all the East Coast had to offer and called it home. As a proud resident of Athol, MA, Sharon always found her joy in living in a small town close to all her friends.

Her marriage to Stanley Sherman on October 9, 1999, was a testament to their love and friendship, and together they created many cherished memories. Unfortunately Stan died on October 5, 2016.

Sharon is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Virginia Addington, her nephew Kyle Delabarre and Stan.

Sharon is survived by her sister Marcia (Mike)Delabarre from Issaquah Washington, her aunt Charlotte (Ed) Worrell) from Colorado, her nephew Kevin Delabarre, and her grand nieces Shaela and Rian Delabarre all from Issaquah Washington. She is also survived by her cat Murphy who gave her years of loyal companionship

Sharon spent part of her working career as a security officer for Liberty House in San Francisco and then as an office manager for grocery stores on the East Coast.

What truly mattered most to Sharon was her family and wide circles of friends. She was a long time member of TOPS organization and an officer for the last several years.

Sharon's life was a testament to her positive outlook and her ability to find joy in everyday moments. She will be dearly missed, but her laughter, love, and vivacious spirit will forever be remembered by all who knew her. As we celebrate Sharon's life, we invite you to leave memories and upload photos below to help us remember the wonderful woman she was.
