Anna Jean Smith Sharer, 91, of Seymour, entered eternal life on Thursday, October 8, 2020 at the Lutheran Community Home in Seymour.

Anna was born in Seymour on February 24, 1929, the daughter of the late Rev. Elmore A. Smith, Sr. and Addie May (Shutters) Smith.

She graduated from Shields High School in 1947.

Anna was a devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. She was an adventurous spirit, taking flying lessons in the late nineteen forties. She expressed her creativity through her sewing, arts and crafts, and gardening. Her love of nature and flowers inspired her to be a master gardener. Anna was a woman of strong faith turning to God for guidance and strength throughout many life struggles. She was a good listener, had a huge heart, a wonderful smile, and a great sense of humor.

She is survived by her brother Clarence Smith, her children Steve Sharer and Chris Sharer, Lori Sharer, and Mark Sharer, grandchildren Bret Hobson, Kristopher (Stacey) Williams, Alissa (Josh) Proctor, and David Lakins, seven great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Elmore A. Smith, Jr., and Robert D. Smith, and daughter-in-law Leslie M. Sharer.

So sad to hear of her passing. She was the kindest person I can remember meeting. She never, and I mean never, spoke ill of anyone. May her memory be a blessing.

Ann was my mother-in-law. My memories of are many and fond. Though I had not spoken with her in some time, I distinctly remember our last conversation, years ago, involving her recipe for vegetable soup and cornbread (so good) which she shared with me. She was one of the kindest and most gentle souls I have ever known. I am very grateful to have had the great good fortune to have had her play an important role in the formative years of my life. She will be truly missed. My sincere condolences to all who are grieving her loss.
