Sharon never knew a stranger and had many friends throughout her life. She graduated from Logansport High School in 1959 and later attended Valparaiso University. Sharon lived life as an energetic person who made friends easily. She was an entrepreneur with several rental properties and enjoyed spending time in Indiana and Arizona. During her career, Sharon owned a restaurant in Reynolds, Ind., as well as driving an 18-wheeler semi for several years and many other ventures. She always looked forward to a new challenge and a new opportunity. Foremost in Sharon’s life was her dedication to and her involvement with her special needs daughter, Terri Overley, for whom she fought many battles to ensure that Terri received the proper care and quality of life that she deserved.
Sharon was formerly married to Gary L. Overley Sr., and together they had five children, including Tammi Peters of Fishers, Randi (Rob) Wade of Florida and Gary L. Overley Jr. of Bunker Hill. She was preceded in death by her daughters, Shelli Bryan and Terri Overley; and granddaughter, Heather Ross. She had numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews. Later in her life, Sharon adopted a daughter, Jo-An (Jerry) Danner of Indianapolis. She is also survived by her siblings, Larry Humes of Noblesville, Patricia Bendus of Georgia, and Robyn Nelson of Ohio; and close friends, Diana Krasnic of Florida and Jim Craig of Noblesville.
