Sharon Althouse Obituary
December 8, 1999 - December 26, 2017
Womelsdorf
Shanon L. Althouse, 18, passed away Tuesday, December 26, 2017 in Upper Tulpehocken Township. Born in Lebanon on December 8, 1999, she was the daughter of Michael L. and Jacqueline L. (Gates) Althouse.
She was a senior at Tulpehocken High School.
She had a smile that never failed to light up a room, her smile was so infectious that everyone around her couldn't help but be inspired by her happiness. There did not exist a person whom Shanon did not love and was not loved by. A self proclaimed country girl who was rarely found without cowboy boots and her camouflage sweatshirt.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by a brother, Zachary R. Althouse, Womelsdorf; paternal grandparents, Harry and Linda (Leisey) Althouse; maternal grandparents, Chris and Julie Moore; great-grandmother, Catharine I. (Hardt) Leisey; her uncle and aunts, Rick and Dory Triest, Harold and Linda Althouse, and Lucy Gates; cousins, Brad, Christa, Wendy, Patti, and Tristen; her cat, Fluffy; and several aunts; uncles; and cousins.
A Memorial Service will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, December 31 at Tulpehocken High School Auditorium, 430 New Schaefferstown Rd., Bernville. A viewing will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, December 30 at Hill Funeral Home, Rehrersburg. Burial will be held at 2 p.m., Tuesday, January 2 at Salem Reformed Church Cemetery, Bethel.

We did not know Sharon, but our story is so similar to yours. Our hearts are broken for you. Our son, Corey, was 17 when he died in a car accident the day after Christmas, 1989. He was a senior at Annville- Cleona H.S. The hurt and pain you feel now is very real and you may feel like it will never go away. It doesn't completely, but in time you will heal. After Corey died it was the first thing that hit me every morning. I just wanted to sleep and have the pain go away. And it has. You never " get over it". But give yourself time to heal. We grieve with you and pray you will find peace and comfort even during this most difficult of times.
