Sharon Kay Hendershot, 73, of Industry, passed away on November 22nd, 2025 at her residence.

She was born in East Liverpool, Ohio on May 26th, 1952, a daughter of the late Arthur Ray and Juanita “Bonnie” (Balser) Hendershot. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Tracy Brandao, her daughter, Tammy Lynn Elkins, her grandson, Mark “Allen” Shreaves Jr. and her brothers, Arthur “Ray” Hendershot and Kevin Hendershot. Sharon was a devoted mother to her surviving daughter, Virginia “Ginny” (Mark) Shreaves and her surviving pet, Lulu. She cherished her siblings, Clyde (Hilda) Hendershot, Lynn (Tony) Joseph and Cindy (Jerry) Kersey, her grandchildren: Dallion Elkins, Caitlyn Mata, Jessica Shreaves, Isaac Shreaves, and Kaylynne Shreaves; as well as her great-grandchildren, Devon, Emilio, Xander, and Elena, and she also held dear many nieces, nephews, and cousins, who all survive her who were touched by her warmth and generosity.

Sharon was the heart of her family and a constant source of connection and compassion. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome. For the past 38 years, Sharon has shared her life with her beloved partner, Wayne Wilson, who also survives her. Their enduring bond was a testament to love’s strength and resilience. One of Sharon’s greatest joys was crocheting Afghans for family, friends, and disabled veterans, a labor of love that wrapped those she cared about in comfort and beauty. Her legacy is one of inclusion, kindness, and unwavering love. She was also a life member of the VFW post 8168 lady’s auxiliary. Her presence will be deeply missed. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.

Friends will be received on Sunday, November 30th from 1 p.m. until the time of a funeral service at 4 p.m. in the GABAUER-TODD FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, Inc., 340 Third Street, Beaver, who was in charge of her arrangements. The funeral service will be officiated by Christy Knetsch, a niece with whom Sharon always shared a special bond.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Good Samaritan Hospice, especially Jesse, Renee, and Ashley for taking such great care of Sharon and her family.

In lieu of flowers, Sharon’s family requests donations be made in Sharon’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association.
