Sharon Speck

Rest in Peace Sharon.

I just discovered this obituary. I remember Mrs. Speck as a beautiful soul, a role model for many. She was a living mother and supportive wife who was strong and passionate in promoting issues close to her heart. May your memories bring you comfort and peace. I know you miss her Dr. Speck! Take care!

Sam, I think of you and Sharon frequently. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless. Reese Tipton

Oh, Sam,

I just received the Muskingum Newletter and read of the Memorial to Sharon. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I admired both of you. Sharon was an inspiration to many of us.

Sam,
My belated sympathy on the passing of Sharon. It was a pleasure working with her back in the 80's in Zanesville getting a SHHH chapter started for the hearing impaired. It was so good to talk to her a couple of years ago at Alumni Weekend.

Sam and family:

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sam and family, I was so sorry to learn of Sharon's passing. She was a wonderful person and the term "class act" seems an apt descriptor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sam and members of the Speck family: Jane and I are so sorry for your loss. Sharon was a remarkable person and I fondly remember having many discussions with her concerning the state of local public health in Ohio. She was a passionate advocate for public health and for persons with limitations. Sharon was also one of the most gracious people that I have ever known and was a wonderful partner for you Sam as "first lady" at Muskingum. She will be missed and our prayers are with you and your family.

It was one of the joys of my life and that of my late wife to have known Sharon. She was a graceful and welcoming person who will always remain in my memories. My sincere condolences to Sam, her family and her many friends.

Dear Sam & Speck Family:
We are so sorry to hear about Sharon.
May the good memories be of help to you during this difficult time.
We always enjoyed the many time and experiences we had together with you and Sharon. She will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sam,
I am very sorry about the loss of Sharon. I remember her always a gracious, friendly, lovely woman, and thoughtfully packing me a sandwich for several road trips.:-) Your endearing comments at ODNR about your wife always showed your deep love for her. Many blessing to you and your family.

Dear Sam,

This afternoon at the low vision support group meeting at the Griswold Center an announcement was made about Sharon's passing. I was so sorry to hear that sad news.

As you may know Sharon was a long-time member of that support group. I would see you dropping her off for our meetings.

I want to extend my sympathy to you and to the other members of your family. May you find strength and comfort.Nice family memories will live on with all of you.

Dear Sam and family - I'm devastated to hear the sad news about cousin Sherry. I'm so glad that we were able to have brunch with you both a few weeks ago with Sonnie and Owen. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sherry is soaring on the wings of Eagles to a peaceful place. Love to all - Linny (ferguson). Aunt Ruths daughter.

Sam, I am very sorry to hear of Sharon passing, She was a very caring and wonderful lady. Reese(Monte)Tipton..

Sam and I roomed together at Muskingum while serving as counselors (now called "residence assistants) for our senior year. I had long committed to "the girl back home" to whom I've been married nearly 58 years, while Sam was still searching for that perfect girl. Along came Sharon, and Sam knew the search was over. Geography kept the two couples apart, however we would meet once or twice at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus. Though hardly knowing us, Sharon was always gracious and friendly. We were informed of Sharon's passing by her dear friend, Marge Geho. Having lost a son and daughter-in-law to an airline crash many years ago, we can only state the obvious...Sharon is now in a better place with God in Heaven. Our prayers for Sam and their family will continue. Sam and Charlotte Colmery, Aurora Ohio.

Sam, I am so sorry to hear of Sharon's death. She was a special lady and I enjoyed getting to know her better when I was President of the Faculty Wives Club at Muskingum. I remember helping her out at the Manse with faculty receptions, etc. She was a joy to be around. I know you will miss her daily but remember how blessed you were to be together.

We are thinking of you and remembering such good times together planning, decorating and dancing together. Sharon will be deeply missed.

Dear Dr. Speck, I was very sorry to learn about your wife Sharon's passing. I remember her warmth and welcome when we would arrive at your New Concord home very late at night from Columbus. It was January of 1972 when you had me interning at the Ohio Legislature. Please accept my condolences and know that my wife and I are keeping you in our prayers.
