February 14, 1957 – May 12, 2022
Sharon Kay Tolle, 65, Sheridan, passed away on Thursday morning, May 12, 2022, at Riverview Health in Noblesville. Born on February 14, 1957, in Indianapolis, she was the daughter of the late Walter Junior and Norma Jean (Meador) Strough.
She was a 1975 graduate of Carmel High School and a graduate of Ivy Tech where she earned her Associates Degree in Accounting. Her education served her well during her tenure with St. Vincent Hospital, where she worked in the accounting department for 18 years, retiring in 2013.
Sharon lived life in the moment – and whatever she happened to be involved in at any given time was the absolute perfect place for her to be. She spent countless hours fussing over her garden, but to her it was time well spent. She loved flowers and enjoyed the various critters that would visit her garden from time to time. Birds were visitors she liked the best; she had feeders on just about every square foot of her property. Sharon also liked to let her artistic side take over. She enjoyed arts and crafts, especially ceramics, pottery and crocheting. One of her favorite projects was when she was able to use the flowers from her garden to create the floral pieces for her son’s wedding. It was the perfect combination of Sharon’s creative side and her professional, attention-to-detail side. Sharon was an avid and competitive bowler, playing in various leagues throughout the years, as well as being a member of the 600 club.
Any activity involving family was her happy place. Sharon was there for anything and everything. As the kids were growing up, she made it a priority to be involved in their activities. From running here, there, and everywhere for various sports activities, to being an active band parent – she was always there. And when the cycle started all over again, this time as a grandparent, Sharon was front and center.
Sharon is survived by her loving husband, Christopher Alan “Chris” Tolle. She and Chris were married on May 22, 1993. Also surviving are son, Jason M. Flint (Christina) of Noblesville; three daughters, Kira D. Flint of Noblesville, Tiffany Shari Hill (Seth) of Jamestown, and Felicia Renee Sample (Nick) of Noblesville; eight grandchildren, Trinity Hill, Lydia Hill, Sadie Hill, Alexander “Alex” Flint, Abigail Flint, Nicholas Sample, Jr., Jayden Sample, and Devon Sample; brother, Paul Strough of West Virginia; sisters, Diane Strough White and Melissa Strough, both of Phoenix, Ariz.; and by her golden retriever, Crosby. Everybody loves Crosby.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and sister, Susan Strough.
Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, at Kercheval Funeral Home, 306 E. 10th St., Sheridan.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Hamilton County Humane Society.
