Sharon Forshaw Obituary
Sharon was born on September 24, 1946, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, She was the beloved daughter of Louella Tambini and was lovingly raised by her grandmother Marie Keys. Sharon was most passionate about her family. She was an adoring grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren. Known for her big heart, warm smile and cheerful demeanor. Sharon was always ready to offer her advice, often before anyone had to ask. Sharon found joy in the simple pleasures including a cozy evening in with her cat, Tig or for a time dabbled in painting.
Sharon worked as a waitress, cashier, she was proud of her weigh-master certificate working in a sand & gravel pit in Alabama. Her #1 job was being the best mom to her two children and their countless friends who called her "Mom". She was quick to fix a snack or a full-blown meal. Her home was a place of comfort, where family and friends were forever welcomed to pull up a chair and stay awhile. Whether sharing food, conversation, or quiet companionship, she had a way of making everyone feel at ease. No one ever left her home hungry or unloved.
Her vibrant spirit and loving nature left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone who knew her.

Sherry and Bobby.
Sending love your way during this most harrowing time. Sharon was my mom´s best friend for the short time she was with us as she passed at 25 yrs old. We have great memories as children of "Aunt Sharon" and were able to reconnect years later as we lived on Morrison and she was just one street away.
To be able to spend time with you two was precious. As adults we found her again and traveled to Michigan where she shared stories of her and my moms escapades in their youth. And seeing you again Sherry was super special. We enjoyed every bit of the few days we spent with her and I kept in touch having spoken to her as recently a few months ago. Our hearts go out to you both and your family. God rest her soul and may he be with you in this sorrowful time. Prayers for you all
With Love,
