Sharon Wince

Sharon Wince, born March 16, 1934, passed away peacefully on March 28, 2025, at the age of 91. A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, Sharon lived a life full of creativity, kindness, and quiet strength.

She is survived by her beloved daughters Esther Wince(Lon Lawyer), Cassie D’Aula, and Andrea Wince-Wiseman(Mike), along with a large and loving family of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her cherished feline companion, Callie. Sharon was preceded in death by her husband, John “Jack” Wince; her daughter, Celeste Lewis(Dan); her brother, Richard Warner; and her sister, Vonne Kathary.

Known affectionately as “Gram” by many—whether family or not—Sharon had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome and at home. A dedicated homemaker, she created warm and joyful spaces wherever she went. Her talents extended to the arts, with a passion for sewing and crafting that brought beauty into everyday life. As a young woman, she sang in a quartet, sharing her love of music with a graceful voice and joyful spirit.

Sharon’s pies were legendary, her garden always blooming, and her heart always open. She nurtured both plants and people with the same gentle care and attention, leaving a lasting legacy of love and generosity.

Her life was a quiet symphony of love, laughter, and creativity—and she will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
