Sharon Cade Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Best Funeral Services Peoria on Jan. 23, 2026.
Sharon Cade, age 83, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 19, 2026, and is now home with Jesus.

Sharon was born in 1942 in Harvey, Illinois, where she spent her early years and was shaped by strong family roots and Midwestern values. Later in life, she migrated to Arizona, where she built a new chapter and met the love of her life, Jim Cade. They were married and shared many years together, creating a home filled with love and family.

Sharon will be remembered for her kind heart, her devotion to those she loved, and the quiet strength she carried through every season of life. Her faith was an important part of who she was, and her family takes comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of her Savior.

Sharon is survived by her son, Ronald Nelman; daughter-in-law, Jennifer Nelman; and daughter, April Convery, and son-in-law, Todd Convery; her grandchildren, Aubrey Nelman, Jillian Cordova, and Kristen Mason; her great-grandchildren, Dylan and Harper Cordova, and River, Gavin, and Layla Hardin; and her sisters, Donna Brost and Nancy Riley. She also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

Though she will be deeply missed, her family rejoices in the promise of eternal life and holds fast to the hope of being reunited one day.

Celebration of life service will be announced at a later date.
