Sharon Elaine
Rainey
Aug 7, 1957 — Aug 28, 2024
Sharon Elaine (Brock) Rainey of Williams, IN passed away on August 28th, 2024, at the age of 67. Sharon was the epitome of Grace under pressure. She was challenged to face more than a fair share of life changing diagnosis, but like a diamond that pressure only made her shine brighter. Throughout her valiant fight she maintained her altruism, kindness and immense love for her friends/family.
Sharon was the firstborn child of Roy Lee (Wheetie) and Regina Brock on August 7th, 1957. She attended Fayetteville High School where she met and married the love of her life, Jack Rainey in 1974. She was profoundly proud of her husband for his tenacity and work ethic. His resilience and tender care provided her with immense comfort to the end.
Jack and Sharon began the adventure that would be their beautiful life together by welcoming their two children Jason in 1975 and Shanon in 1977. Sharon's world revolved around her children. She took pride and joy in her role as a homemaker and her wonderful children are evidence to her success.
The promotion from mother to grandmother was a role Sharon was born for. She dedicated her life to orchestrating fantastic memories, teaching valuable lessons, embarking on numerous adventures and supporting each of her grandchildren beyond compare.
To be loved by Sharon was to always be thought of. Her selfless spirit and sharp mind contributed to her affinity for gift giving and she had the uncanny ability to curate the perfect collection of your favorite things. She was the kind of person who would empty her cup to ensure that yours was always filled.
She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Jack Rainey; mother, Regina Brock; Brother, Sam (Sherri) Brock; Sister, Lisa Lynn Rainey; Brother in law, Bradley Rainey; Son, Jason (Willow) Rainey; Daughter, Shanon (Shayne) Greenwell; Nephews Matt (Crystal) Rainey and Issac (Jennifer) Rainey; Niece, Jessica (Eric) Rainey; 16 grandchildren: Grace, Garrett, and Gibson Greenwell; Jack, Alivia, Mason, Mathew, Abby, Travis, Robert, Nathan, Nick, Nolan, Katelyn, Sophia, Trenton, and great grandchildren.
She is proceeded in death by her father, Roy Lee Brock and her brother-in-law, Bob Rainey.
Sharon was the Matriarch of her beloved family and her tragic passing is of profound sadness to the friends and family who loved her so dearly. She will be remembered fiercely for her timeless fashion sense, limitless generosity, and unequivocal kindness.
