Sharon Heinlen Obituary

Sharon Heinlen, 72, of Millfield, Ohio, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2024.

She was born on July 14, 1952 to Charles and Hattie Rupe.

Sharon loved going to antique stores and thrift shops looking for porcelain dolls and other treasures. She loved traveling anywhere she could; she didn’t care where she was going, she just loved getting out. Sharon would stay up all night with her sister talking and reminiscing about childhood memories. She loved homemade pizza with thick crust the way Connie made it.

She is preceded in death by her husband Glen Heinlen; parents Charles and Hattie Rupe; grandparents Raymond and Dorothy Rupe; grandparents John and Mable Coleman; and siblings Linda Rhoades, Anna Morgan, and James Rupe.

Sharon is survived by sisters Betty Haynes in Pennsylvania, Nancy Thompson in Texas, and Connie Bright in Ohio; brothers Charles Rupe in Nebraska and Richard Rupe in Georgia; and many nieces and nephews.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
