Sharon Marie (Pyle) Hixson, 76, of Upper Arlington, Ohio, passed away August 14, 2023 after a valiant battle for ten years with gastropareses and other complications. She was a Mifflin HS graduate (1965) and greatly enjoyed her friendships with classmates. Sharon worked for Ohio Bell and Ameritech for 28 years, then MRC tax and auditing firm for nearly 20 years part time. She was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene. Sharon was a giving person, kind and compassionate, adorable, funny, caring and inspiring, always willing and able to help when needed. She did a lot of crafts work over her adult life, making things for others, and was a great cook in general, and was famous for her lasagna (with scratch made noodles) parties, beef and noodles, and apple crisp. She was a great friend to many, especially Brenda Dunno, Molly, Jane, and Wendy. Special friend Sue Clark was a long time friend. It would be nearly impossible to name all her friends, but Larry and Kelly Cotterman and Beth and Gary Ehlinger are among them.

Lucille Stegmiller, next door neighbor, benefitted greatly from her help. Many relatives appreciated Sharon’s love, as did her husband of 44 years, Roger. They were each other’s very best friends, devoted to each other, sharing their lives, home, travels, and time at their condo in Pompano Beach, FL.

Sharon contributed to several charities, and anyone who desires to do so may contribute to the Franklin County Humane Society in her name. Roger wishes to note the great care provided to Sharon by Dr Kirby and the TPN Group at the Cleveland Clinic, and her primary care Dr Carducci and his staff, especially Lisa, and the Bing Center at Riverside Hospital, as well as other staff at Riverside.
