Sharon K Osborne's Obituary
On August 30th, Sharon Kay Osborne, 74, of Keymar, Maryland, passed away after fighting a lengthy battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family and loved ones.
Sharon was born October 18, 1950, to Herman and Olivia (Curnoles) Bollinger. She immediately brought happiness and laughter into the world. Sharon started her career in real estate, where she thrived and helped many achieve their dreams. She then worked for Maryland Federal as the chief underwriter, before retiring to live “on the farm” with her husband.
Sharon married the love of her life, Timothy W. Osborne on August 6th, 1977, and they were happily married for 48 years. They blended a family of her two daughters and his four children, where the courage and strength to make family feel loved and together came easily. These years will never go unforgotten.
She is survived by her husband, Tim, her daughters Lauri, Shannon, Laura Lynn, Krista, Sherri, her son, Tim Jr and her brother, Danny. She is proceeded by her sister’s Viola and Marie, and her brother Jimmy. She was a caring grandmother to 26 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.
Sharon was a wife, mother, and friend whose sense of humor brought broad smiles to those she met. Her favorite quote was, “Not my circus, not my monkeys”. She dedicated her life to her family, instilling honor, truth, loyalty, and love. She was one with whom you knew where you stood, sassy, and full of jokes. If you were hurt, she was there, ready to defend you. As she would say, “That’s what Osborne’s do.”
Mom fought the odds and came out on top so many times, she was nothing short of a miracle.
Though she is no longer here on earth, she will never be forgotten and remain forever in our hearts.
