November 21, 2023 at 5:31 p.m.


Sharon Palmer passed away on Nov. 19, 2023, at the age of 83. She was a lifetime resident of the Warsaw area and is remembered for her strong will and as a hard worker who instilled the same work ethic in her daughters.
Born on March 13, 1940, in Plymouth, Sharon was the daughter of John R. and Ruth Dillman Webster Blocker. Sharon was blessed to find love twice - first she was married to Arles Slaven and later remarried to Earl Osburn. Sadly, both have preceded her in passing as did her daughter, Terrie Tacket; Terrie's husband, Clifford; and Sharon's brothers, Robert Webster and David Barts.
Sharon led a fruitful career that exemplified her strong work ethic and dedication. Together with Earl, she worked at Creighton Brothers. Later on, Sharon dedicated many years of service to Crystal Lake Egg Products where she earned a reputation for her commitment to the job and tireless efforts which made a lasting impact on coworkers and those around her.
In addition to being a hardworking individual, Sharon was characterized by her selflessness and kindness towards others. Through her sometimes tough exterior, she had a warm heart and rarely knew a stranger. Sharon was strong-willed and independent, and, at the same time selfless of her time and efforts to those who knew her best.
Sharon Palmer is survived by daughter, Linda (and husband, Roy) Cervantes, of Warsaw; grandson, Cory Smith, of Elkhart; siblings: Marcia (and husband, David) Birden, of Rochester; Gary (and wife, Louise) Webster, of Noblesville; and Patricia Partin, of Roanoke; as well as sister-in-law, Connie Webster (wife of Robert), of Melbourne, Fla.
Titus Funeral Home, 2000 Sheridan St., Warsaw, is entrusted with care of Sharon and the family. Visitation will take place at the funeral home on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Beginning at 1 p.m., Sharon's life will be celebrated with Pastor Hedgel Perry officiating. Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery.
