Sharon Roudebush, born on March 28, 1939, in Newberry, Indiana, left this world peacefully on October 5, 2025, in Greenwood, Indiana. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Sharon's life was a testament to her unwavering love for family and her passion for her work in the community.

Through her dedication to the family construction business, Sharon became an essential part of the team, gracefully handling payroll, accounting, and helping manage the family farms in Greene County, Indiana. Her diligent efforts were matched only by her deep sense of responsibility to those around her, ensuring not just the success of the business but nurturing the lives of everyone involved.

Sharon's vibrant personality shone brightly in all she did. She found joy in being busy, whether that meant tending to her beloved garden, reveling in the outdoors, or enjoying the company of horses. Nature was her solace, and her flowers reflected the beauty she carried in her heart. As a member of Psi Iota Xi sorority and the Bridge Club in Bloomfield, Indiana, she fostered connections that enriched her life and the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Charles Roudebush; her loving daughter, Amy (David) Jahnke; adoring brother, Kerry Hasler; as well as her cherished grandchildren, Olivia (Chris) Reckley, Blake Jahnke, Elise (Ben) Dowden, Luke (Eliza) Jahnke, Madalyn Jahnke, and Isabella (Marc) Roland. Sharon was also delighted by her great grandchildren-Tucker and Owen Reckley, Vivian, Penny, and Jack Dowden, Lucy Jahnke, and Scarlett Roland. Her legacy will continue to flourish through them, as she instilled values of hard work, kindness, and the importance of family in all who loved her.

Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, Frank Dexter and Mary Jane Canada Hasler, who undoubtedly shaped the remarkable woman she became. Brother, Max (Linda) Hasler.
