Patricia L. Sharp

Patricia L. Sharp, 89, passed away on Thursday, February 20, 2025, after an extended illness. She was a lifelong resident of Hagerstown, Indiana where she lived with her husband of 65 years and high-school sweetheart, Raymond Sharp until his passing in 2020. She is survived by five children: Steve (Kim) Sharp, Scott (Cheryl) Sharp, Sean (Patti) Sharp, Stacie (Jeff) Huffine, Shellie (Kent) Gray; ten grandchildren: Ryan Sharp, Justin (Amanda) Sharp, Raeshelle (Shawn) Murphy, Amanda (Jake) Stainbrook, Spencer (Hannah) Sharp, Alivia Huffine (Josh Williams), Brooke (Robb) Ullery, Samantha (David) Picard, Erin (Jake) Hart, and Paige Gray (Matthew Beaty). Four step-grandchildren: Tony (Brooke) Bell, and Nick (Kourtney) Bell, Becky Pollitt and Heather (Devin) Lamberson; eleven great-grandchildren: Trey Sharp, Adam, Abram and Aidan Murphy, Lucy Stainbrook, Hayden and Dean Ullery, Frances Sharp, Charlie Sharp, Kendall Hart, Arlo Williams, five step great-grandchildren: Bryson and Mac Bell, Ella, Noah and Theo Bell, and a nephew Steven Sharp, who was very special to her. Pat was an only child who always wanted a big family – she was granted that wish and then some! She was preceded in death by her parents; Ernest & Ethel Lindamood, uncles Carl and Homer Cordell, aunt Florence (Sally) Sullivan, and her husband Raymond. Pat was born on October 13, 1935, at her home in Hagerstown, Indiana. She was a 1953 graduate of Hagerstown High School. During her high school years, she worked as a soda jerk in Hagerstown. Pat found her passion in the workforce with her 25-year tenure working in the cafeteria at Hagerstown Schools, where she always greeted students with a warm smile. Pat was everything you think of when you hear the word “mother” or “grandma”. When her kids were young, she was a Girl Scout troop leader, a Cub Scout leader, was a member of a bowling team, and attended her monthly card club meetings. She was part of a group who started the slow-pitch softball league in Hagerstown, which is now a part of Hagerstown Little League. She loved to bake and cook for her family and anyone who entered her kitchen. Family was everything to Pat and she was always in attendance at her grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s sporting events. She loved Tiger Athletics, and you could count on a bag of cookies afterwards, which were renowned in East Central Indiana. She proudly wore the moniker of “cookie grandma”, bestowed upon her by friends of grandchildren and great-grandchildren alike. The cookies were remarkable, but Pat was also known for her famous pies. Her love language was baking a pie for you. Whether it was to celebrate, mourn, or just to say hello, receiving a pie from Pat’s kitchen was a special treat. Pat was actively involved within the Hagerstown community. She was an avid golfer, who also loved the beach. Pat and Raymond graciously took their family on many vacations to Myrtle Beach and other destinations over the years. Pat was very special to the dance community in Hagerstown. She attended all 50 “Dance with Cindy” recitals, an accolade she was incredibly proud of. Pat loved to shop, shop, shop and was famous for her “never-ending bag” of presents for birthdays. Christmas time was very special to Pat, and she looked forward to seeing Santa on Christmas Eve every year. A visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 25th from 11:00AM – 1:00PM. Funeral services will be held immediately after the visitation. Both the visitation and funeral will be held at Hagerstown First United Methodist Church, where she was a longstanding member. Burial will be in West Lawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made to Nettle Creek Schools to cover past due lunch balances. Donations may be sent to or dropped off at The Logo Shoppe (98 West Main Street Hagerstown, IN 47346).
