Sharon Hoffman, of Chelsea, passed away on Saturday, November 12, 2022, at the age of 83.

Sharon was an incredible woman who left behind a loving family and a large legacy. She was born on June 6, 1939 in Leonard, MI to Nestor and Alberta Coulter. She was the fourth of ten children. She met the love of her life, Paul, at the Cleary College Snowflake Serenade Ball. They were inseparable and had 60 wonderful years together.

Sharon was an incredible cook, and everyone always asked her to bring one of her pies to many occasions. She loved Christmas and decorated with zeal each and every year. This was her favorite time of the year. She and Paul raised three girls together, Jennice, Janine, and Jamie. She passed on so many wonderful skills to ‘her girls’. They know how to cook, clean, craft, and love their children because of her guidance and love.

Sharon drove a school bus for a number of years and was always fondly remembered by those students who rode her bus. After retirement, she volunteered for a number of years at Faith in Action. She was strong in her faith and passed that along to her entire family.

Sharon was thrilled as her family grew to include sons-in-law and many grandchildren. She is survived by Jennice and Tom Moylan, Janine and Rick Hartman, Jamie and Jason Adkins. Her grandchildren include Connor and Nicole Hartman, Abigail Moylan, Jacob Hartman, Aleah Moylan, Madison Adkins, Hannah Adkins, Alexia Moylan, Charity Moylan, and Mahala Moylan. Her great-grandchildren include Damien, Caleb, William, Amaria and Kai.

Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, Alberta and Nestor Coulter, in-laws, John and Evelyn Hoffman, siblings, Margery Hutton, Delores and Phillip Mielock, Helen and Robert Mallard, Robert Coulter, and Daniel Coulter. She is survived by siblings, Dorothy (LaVerne) Behnke, Charlie (Cheryl) Coulter, Cathy Strong, and Denise (Arlan) Winslow.
