In Loving Memory of Sharon Lovely
OGDENSBURG -- Sharon Lynn Lovely, age 82, passed away on April 5, 2024.
Sharon was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, and aunt, whose gentle demeanor and compassionate heart touched the lives of all who knew her.
Sharon was born on December 16, 1941, in Ogdensburg, New York, to the late Allen Charles and Helen Catherine (LaRose) Lovely.
Known for her soft-spoken nature and heart of gold, Sharon dedicated her life to caring for others, beginning with her devotion to looking after her grandmother.
Later, Sharon continued her compassionate work at St. Joseph's Nursing Home, where she selflessly tended to the needs of the elderly. Additionally, she spent several years as a professional house cleaner, bringing comfort and cleanliness to many homes.
An avid animal lover, Sharon found joy in caring for the creatures around her. She could often be found leaving nuts and seeds out for neighborhood birds and squirrels and spoiling family pets with treats and attention, embodying her nurturing spirit in every small gesture.
Sharon's love for music and movement was evident in her passion for singing and dancing. Her loving niece remembers Sharon’s face lighting up when the Tom Jones Variety Hour came on every week.
For many years, Sharon was an active member of the St. Lawrence Border Line Dancers, a group that brought joy and entertainment to communities across the East Coast, performing at fairs and parades with enthusiasm and grace.
In addition to her line dancing skills, Sharon enriched her community as an active member of her local VFW and AmVets posts.
Sharon will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Her legacy of kindness and compassion will continue to shine brightly.
Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Allen C. Lovely, Jr., and her sister Judith Helen Brabaw.
She is survived by her niece Jodi Rochelle, and husband Jeremy; her nephew, Ernest Brabaw, and wife Kristy; her great-nephew, Zachary Brabaw, and wife Amy; her great-niece, Kasandra Brabaw, and partner Meredith Marks; and her great-niece, Katelyn Brabaw.
A celebration of Sharon’s life will be held graveside at Notre Dame Cemetery in Ogdensburg on Friday, May 17 at 2pm.
