Sharon Marcellette Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 6, 2025.
Sharon Marcellette, 76, passed away on July 29, 2024, in Surprise, Arizona. Born on July 25, 1949, in Rochester, New York, Sharon lived a life marked by compassion and service to others.

Throughout her life, Sharon dedicated herself to helping those in need. She volunteered her time with St. Vincent de Paul, offering support and care to individuals and families facing hardship. Her commitment to community service also extended to the Surprise Police Department, where she gave her time generously in support of public safety efforts.

Sharon is lovingly remembered by her children: Valerie Marcellette, Francesca White-Marcellette, and Michael John Marcellette. Her legacy continues through them and through the many lives she touched with her kindness and generosity.

She was preceded in death by Ronald Marcellette; Elizabeth Culhane; Robert Culhane; Betty Bloom; Margaret Culhane; John Culhane; Daniel Culhane; Jim Malinske; Vicki Guiney; and Ron Butler.

May Sharon's memory bring comfort to those who knew her and serve as a reminder of the enduring impact of a life devoted to service.
