Sharon Kay Warnock

Sharon Kay Warnock, 76, of Kokomo, Indiana, passed away on November 3, 2026, in the same town where she was born on July 20, 1950, and where she spent her life surrounded by the people and places she loved most. She was born to Claude and Sarah Meyers, and from the very beginning, she brought a spark that could light up a room, a conversation, or at the very least, a family gathering that needed a little extra personality.

Sharon graduated from Kokomo High School and carried that hometown pride with her throughout her life. She went on to work at Milbank Manufacturing, where she was known not only for her work ethic, but also for the kind of presence that made ordinary days a little brighter. Sharon had a way of showing up with honesty, humor, and heart, which is a rare combination and, frankly, one that should have been patented. She was a Christian, and her faith was an important part of the life she lived with grace, strength, and compassion.

Sharon was funny, passionate, and loving, and those qualities were not subtle. She had a sense of humor that could catch people off guard in the best possible way, and she knew how to make people laugh when they needed it most. She was the kind of person who could turn a simple story into a performance, and a quiet moment into a memory. Her passion showed in the way she cared for her family, her hobbies, and the people lucky enough to know her. Her love was steady, genuine, and deeply felt, even when she expressed it with a little sass and a perfectly timed remark.

She enjoyed crocheting, crafting, collecting owls, and Coke memorabilia, and spending time with her friends and family. Sharon did not just collect things. She collected stories, laughter, and moments that mattered. Her home and her hands reflected her creativity, and her interests gave her joy in the everyday. If there was a project to finish, a conversation to enjoy, or a family story to retell with a little extra flair, Sharon was ready. She had a gift for making the ordinary feel special, and she made sure no one around her ever forgot to laugh.

Sharon is survived by her son Tim Driver and his wife Melissa; her grandchildren Tymi Bailey and her husband Nick, Jeribeth Wysong and her husband Kyle, and Scott Driver and his wife Kayla; her great-grandchildren Uriah and Kyleia Wysong; several bonus grandchildren; and six siblings.

She was preceded in death by her mother Sarah; her father Claude; and her bonus mother Carolyn Meyers who, from the very beginning, took Sharon as her own when she married her father Claude; one sister; her daughter Tonia Bargerhuff; and her grandchildren Andrew and Braylee Driver-Warnock. Her family was one of the greatest joys of her life, and she loved them with a fierce devotion that could not be measured, only felt.

Those who knew Sharon will remember her as someone who could be counted on for a laugh, a hug, a blunt truth, or a warm smile that said more than words ever could. She had a personality that filled a room and a heart that made room for others. Her legacy is one of love, laughter, and a life lived with real spirit. She will be missed deeply by all who knew her, and remembered always for the joy she brought, the strength she showed, and the unforgettable way she made life a little more entertaining just by being in it.
