Sharon Kay Massie

Sharon Kay Massie, a beloved figure in the hearts of her family and friends, peacefully departed this world on August 23, 2025, in her hometown of Xenia, Ohio. Born on April 28, 1947, Sharon was a ray of sunshine for all who knew her, embodying a spirit of kindness and unyielding generosity throughout her life.

Sharon’s career was as vibrant and colorful as the flowers she adored. She began her working journey as a cashier for Rinks, where her friendly smile made every transaction special. In a delightful twist of fate, during her son Michael's school days, she served in the cafeteria, ensuring he could never get away with any mischief. Her career culminated in her retirement from Walmart, where she shared her warmth and passion in the beauty and health department, touching the lives of customers and co-workers alike.

Educated at Xenia High School, Sharon's life was defined not just by her professional achievements but by her unwavering devotion to her family. Her greatest pride came from the loving moments spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. Each day brought joy as she eagerly listened to her granddaughter, Haley Nicole Massie, share the latest news about her daily activities. This bond was further enriched by her cherished great-granddaughter, Jacey Rae Fishbourne, who brought additional light into Sharon's already bright life.

Sharon's character resonated with love; she embodied kindness in every interaction and was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Her generous spirit created a nurturing home where laughter and warmth thrived. Family meant everything to Sharon, especially the precious moments shared with her late husband, Francis C. Massie, who remains forever in the hearts of those who knew them both.

Her family continues to remember her with deep affection, including her son Michael Massie and her brother Lester Klontz, each carrying forward the legacy of love she imparted.

Sharon is now reunited with her parents, Merle and Gladys Klontz, and her sister, Clara Bailey. While her physical presence will be greatly missed, her spirit lives on in the countless lives she touched and the love she cultivated in her family.

Though she has departed from this life, the memories of Sharon Kay Massie—a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend—will forever bloom, just like the beautiful flowers she loved. Her life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and a nurturing spirit.
