Sharon Louise Stacy, 68, passed away on Sunday, August 4, 2019 in Norwich, NY. Sharon was born on February 28, 1951 in Sidney NY, the second child of the late Rutherford White and Mary Wellman White of South New Berlin.
She graduated from South New Berlin Central School in 1969. Over the years, she worked for the Norwich Shoe Company and the Red Barrel in New Berlin.
After Norwich Shoe closed, Sharon went to college to get her degree in Biology and Earth Science. She was in the process of earning her teaching degree when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She then moved to Conklin to live with her sister, Cindy White Scott, who predeceased her.
The last few years of Sharon’s life were spent living in Norwich. Sharon loved many things in life, especially her cats. She also loved spending time in her flowerbeds. You would always find dirt under her fingernails. No gloves for Sharon, that’s not how you work with plants. If you asked her, she would be able to tell you almost anything you needed or wanted to know about plants. She would spend many hours in in her flower beds, working and watching the birds. She also enjoyed reading.
Sharon loved spending time with her two grandchildren and always kept the cookie jar full for their visits. She would spend hours deciding what they were going to make together.
Sharon leaves behind two sons, Danny Stacy of Norwich, and Justin Stacy of Binghamton; two grandchildren, Ethan Stacy and Mary Stacy of Beaver Meadow; three sisters, Elizabeth Christian of Norwich, Mary Reynolds of Oxford, and Cathy White of Harpursville; three brothers, John White of New Berlin, Joseph White of South New Berlin, and Paul White of Holmesville; many nieces, nephews and cousins also survive.
In keeping with Sharon’s wishes, there will be no calling hours. A graveside service will take place at 11:00 am on Friday, September 13, at Copes Corners Cemetery with Rev. Jeremy Stopford officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations in Sharon’s name may be made to the Norwich SPCA, 6160 County Road 32, Norwich NY 13815. Arrangements have been entrusted to R.J. Fahy Funeral Home.
