Sharon Eileen Woodruff, born on May 26 1949, passed away on November 20, 2025. Known for her vibrant spirit and zest for life, Sharon often embodied the phrase "full of life" and could be a handful on occasion. Her passions included riding motorcycles, an activity that brought her much joy and adventure. Additionally, she had a profound love for her pet birds and dogs, which were cherished companions in her home.
Throughout her life, Sharon faced significant challenges with remarkable resilience, proudly standing as a five-time cancer survivor. Her tenacity and strength were an inspiration to others, serving as a testament to her enduring spirit.
She is survived by her sister, Carol McKinniss; niece and nephew, Pete Jr. and Tammy; sister-in-law, Joyce Stout; great-niece, Makayla McKinniss; great-great-niece, Emry Marker; and many more family and friends who were fortunate enough to share in her journey.
Sharon was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Stewart "Doug" Woodruff; her step-son, Chris Woodruff; her parents, John Stout and Delores Blue; her sister, Sheila Kepler; her brother, Michael Stout; her brother-in-law, Pete McKinniss; and her nephew, David McKinniss. Each of these individuals held a special place in her heart, and together they have left an indelible mark on her life.
As we remember Sharon Eileen Woodruff, we celebrate the vibrancy she brought into the world, the love she shared with those around her, and the courage she displayed throughout her life. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who were touched by her adventurous spirit.
