She was born in Anderson on Sept. 20, 1947, to Emil and

Remy, then retired to devote herself to the full-time care
of her husband, Rory, after he became incapacitated. Rory
and Sharon were married for 34 years, until he preceded her
in death.
She was a member of Main Street Church of God, where she
served as a Sunday school teacher, Benevolence Committee
member, and Vacation Bible School volunteer. She was also
very involved in the lives of her children; serving as
secretary of the Franklin Elementary Mother's Club,
president of Franklin Little League, Girl Scout leader, and
member of the Madison Heights Band Boosters.
She will be missed by her three daughters, Cindy (husband,
Lauren) MacMillan of Pendleton, Lori (husband, Layton)
Gilroy of Hinesville, Georgia, and Emily Pyland of Anderson;
eight grandchildren, Austin MacMillan of Cincinnati, Ohio,
Jessica, Evan, and Chloe Macmillan, of Pendleton, Elijah
Pyland of Lima, Ohio, Wyatt Pyland of Anderson, and Clayton
and Brandon Gilroy of Hinesville, Georgia; one
great-grandchild, Khalil Brown; her two brothers, Bruce and
Steve Krieg of Anderson; brother-in-law, Larry Conner; three
nieces; one nephew; several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in
death by her nephew, Brian Krieg; brother-in-law, Michael
Conner; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Visitation will be held on Monday, March 29, from 4 to 8
p.m. at Main Street Church of God. Services will be
conducted Tuesday, March 30, at 11 a.m. at Main Street
Church of God, with the Rev. Don Billey officiating. Burial
will be in Anderson Memorial Park Cemetery.
Pall bearers will be Sharon's grandsons, Austin and Evan
MacMillan, Elijah and Wyatt Pyland, and Clayton and Brandon

Her family would like to express their thanks to the hospice
team from Compassus for their care and compassion during
this difficult time; and to the staff of Memorial Health,
Savannah, Georgia, for their exceptional care.
