Sharon Kaye Lindenmeyer, December 15, 1946 - December 6, 2024.
Sharon Kaye Lindenmeyer, born on December 15, 1946, in Michigan City, IN, passed away on December 6, 2024, in her beloved hometown.
A cherished mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Sharon dedicated her life to her family, always finding joy in their company and the meals they shared.
In her earlier years, Sharon had a passion for racing stock cars, a
testament to her adventurous spirit. She enjoyed spending weekends exploring garage sales and was known for her laid-back personality, often bringing laughter and fun to family gatherings. Sharon had a deep love for music, particularly the songs of Elvis Presley and the Oldies, which filled her home with warmth and nostalgia. Her love extended beyond her family to her faithful dog, Pepper, who preceded her in death the day prior. Sharon was proud of her six children: Donald Atwood (who preceded her in death), Julius Jr. (Diane) Atwood of Michigan City, William (Lisa) Atwood of Michigan City, Deborah Stueck (Chris Stueck) of Michigan City, Timothy Atwood (who proceeded
her in death) (Vera Ausk) of Minnesota, and Dawn Vedron (Terry Vedron) of Michigan City. She was blessed with numerous grandchildren-William Atwood, Jr., Julius Atwood, Jr., Terry Vedron, Jr., Brandin Atwood, Andrew Atwood, Brenda Atwood, Rebecca Stueck, Michael Atwood, Shyann Atwood, Ashley Levin, Mariah Vedron, Kyle Atwood, Emma Atwood, Lilly Atwood, Ellie Atwood, and Adri Atwood-as well as many great-grandchildren who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by
her three sisters, Bonnie Lewis, Darlene Morales, and Judy Robbins; two brothers, Ricky Lewis and Danny (Dally) Lewis, and a close family friend, David “Poppy” Moss.
Sharon is preceded in death by her parents, Lillian Fox (Bethke/Lewis) and William Fox, two brothers, Robert Lewis and Barry Lewis, a grandson Terry (TJ) Vedron Jr, a granddaughter Lily Rose Atwood, and a great-granddaughter Michaella Weatherspoon and her beloved fur-babies Angel and Pepper.
Sharon found solace in watching mystery crime shows, courtroom dramas, Hallmark movies, westerns with John Wayne, and her all-time favorites, The Golden Girls and The Three Stooges.
Sharon was married to Julius Atwood, Sr., in 1967, with whom she shared six children. Although they later divorced, they remained close friends until he died in 2023. In 1990, she married Ralph Lindenmeyer, who sadly passed away in 1996. Later on, Sharon found companionship with Carl Hyde, who passed away from cancer in 2013.
Sharon Kaye Lindenmeyer's warmth and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She will be remembered for her loving spirit, her fun-loving nature, and the countless memories she created with her family, who will carry her legacy in their hearts forever.
