Sharon Gail Waller, age 80 of Brookville, passed away Saturday, October 31, 2026 at home with family. She was born October 22, 1946 in Paintsville, Kentucky.

She is preceded in death by her father, Rayvern McKenzie; mother, Ruby McKenzie; brothers, Wendall McKenzie and David Ray McKenzie; and beloved husband, Ronnie Waller.

She graduated from Meadowdale High School in 1963 and dedicated much of her life to caring for her family as a homemaker. Throughout the years, she also worked in a variety of roles, including positions in the dry-cleaning industry, at Royal Oak Cemetery, and with Harco.

Gail found joy in friendly competition and was an avid fan of Yahtzee, poker, euchre, card games, trivia, crossword puzzles, and reading. Known as the family's personal dictionary, she always seemed to have an answer for every question. She enjoyed watching movies, shopping, and, most of all, spending quality time with her family.

Her warm personality, quick wit, and ever-present smile brightened the lives of everyone she met. Sweet, funny, and full of compassion, she was affectionately known as an "extra mom" to many, making everyone feel welcomed, loved, and cared for. She had a special gift for lifting spirits, cheering others up, and bringing people together. A wonderful cook, she was known for preparing favorite dishes that became cherished family traditions. Her love, kindness, and devotion to her children and family will be remembered always.
