Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and number one fan. Sharon Haynie joined her Heavenly Father while surrounded by her family on November 27, 2023 at the age of 77.

Sharon is the proud mother of two sons, Frank Haynie and Robert Haynie. While raising her boys she worked for School District 51 as a bus driver and retired from City Market as an all-purpose clerk. Sharon was frequently recognized by former students and community members for her dedicated service during her working years. After retirement, she devoted the rest of her life to being a pillar of strength and guidance to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She leaves a legacy of showing up to every graduation, every birthday celebration, every practice and every game. She was her family’s biggest fan and her family was hers.
