July 15, 1947 – August 22, 2022
Sarah Jane Johns, 75, Sheridan, passed away on Monday evening, August 22, 2022, at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville. Born on July 15, 1947, in Noblesville, she was the daughter of the late Charles Frederick “Chod” and Mary Elizabeth (Prindle) Greathouse.
She was a 1965 graduate of Sheridan High School and a member of the Sheridan Wesleyan Church.
Sarah had a gift for helping and taking care of everyone around her. After graduation, she took a position as a Nurses Aid with Sheridan Healthcare Center and adapted quickly to the role of caregiver. She treated the residents like family and was a trusted friend to the families of her patients. She would later go to work for St. Vincent Hospital for several years before leaving the healthcare field. Changing career fields, Sarah went to work in the cleaning industry, working for several different companies through the years, including Biddle Manufacturing, Comfort Inn and Suites, and later Bull Dog Cleaning Services.
As Sarah eased her way into retirement, she realized that she had more time to devote to what truly made her happy. She loved going to as many festivals as she could, especially the Covered Bridge Festival, and going out to eat every chance she could get. She also enjoyed taking trips down to Kentucky to visit family and friends.
To Sarah, there was nothing more important than family – except maybe the Indianapolis Colts. She tried her best to never miss a game and was absolutely over the moon when they finally got to the Super Bowl.
Sarah is survived by the love of her life, Irvin Laverne Johns. She and Irvin were married on March 2, 1970. Also surviving are two sons, Jeffery L. Johns and Bradley Joseph Johns, both of Sheridan; three grandchildren, Alex Norman, Jayden Goodwin, and Annabelle Brothers; brother, Gerald “Gator” Greathouse of Sheridan; sister, Nora Dellingner of Whitestown; and her cat, Patches.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Frederick “Chod” and Mary Elizabeth (Prindle) Greathouse; two brothers, James and Roger Dale Greathouse; and brother-in-law, Ray Dellingner.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, at Kercheval Funeral Home, 306 E. 10th St., Sheridan, with Visitation from noon until the time of service. Burial will follow at Spicewood Cemetery in Sheridan. Pastor George Cooper will be officiating.
