Sharon Roudebush

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.
