Sharon L. Jenkins, 79, of Winona Lake, Indiana passed away Thursday, October 17, 2024, at Grace Village Health Care Center. She was born April 11, 1945, in Chicago, Illinois to Bernard F. & Ruth (Kuehn) O’Neill, Jr. and graduated from Crown Point High School. Sherry made her career with GTE telephone company as a Customer Service Representative. She enjoyed the comforts of being at home with a few close friends and family. Despite taking advantage of being able to blame her big brother for childhood exploits that went afoul, she grew into a gracious and responsible gentlewoman in adulthood who gained the admiration of everyone in her realm, even that big brother.
On August 7, 1976, she married William C. Jenkins who preceded her in death on November 18, 2006. Survivors include her brother, Ron O’Neill of LaPorte, niece & nephew: Lori (Jeff) Cooper of Crown Point & Todd Stump of Portage, and three great nieces: Aimee, Amber & Amanda. She was also preceded in death by her parents, and sister-in-law, JoAnn O’Neill.
A visitation will be held Wednesday, October 23th from 10 am – 12 noon at Moeller Funeral Home, Valparaiso with funeral service beginning at 12:00 noon and cremation to follow. Memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
GUESTBOOK
We were neighbors of Sharon at Grace Village Robin Hood condos. While I was on my walk through the neighborhood, I would see her heading off early in the morning or I would see her heading to her mailbox later in the day. Although we only talked a couple of times she was always friendly and said hi or waved. Our condolences are with you as family and pray that her memories will fill the gap left in her absence. May God's grace sustain you in this loss. -Nancy and Greg Weimer
