Sharon Smith Obituary

Pittsfield- Sharon Smith, 74, passed away on January 14, 2026, leaving behind many who loved her. Born October 22, 1951, to Ruth (Britigan) and Matthew ("Max") Hartmann, she was a 1969 graduate of Pittsfield High School. On June 20, 1970, she married her beloved husband, Bruce Smith, with whom she shared 55 years.

Sharon was known for her commitment to family. After retiring from O'Connell Oil in 2015, she devoted her time to volunteering and enjoying life's simple pleasures, including gardening, rug hooking, and knitting. She was the heart of her family, hosting years of get-togethers that brought the generations together. Time with her 'walking crew' was precious to her.

She is survived by her husband, Bruce; her daughter, Melissa Wondoloski; son-in-law, Anthony, III; her grandson, Anthony IV, whom was a great source of pride for her; her sister, Deborah Cartier; brother-in-law Michael; nephew, Matthew Cartier; grandniece and grandnephew, Violet and Mason; and her cherished cat, Gabby.

A graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Berkshire Humane Society. Sharon will be remembered for her kindness, honesty, and the handmade treasures she lovingly shared.
