Catherine S. “Katie” Sharp, 85, Crestline, died Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at her home in Mill Creek, Galion.
Katie was born in Bucyrus, on August 10, 1929 to the late Joseph and Mary (Principato) Augustine. She married Robert J. “Jack” Sharp on August 13, 1960 who preceded her in death on March 9, 2013.
Katie was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Crestline. She was the co-owner of the family businesses, Sharp’s Appliances, Sharp’s Coin Operated Laundromat and Wiring by Sharp. Over the years, Katie volunteered with numerous local charities and touched the lives of many with her generosity, love, and kindness-there was always an extra seat at her table.
Katie never missed an opportunity to support her family of football coaches and players. As an avid football fan, Friday nights were dedicated to her Bulldogs and grandsons, Saturdays were The Buckeyes and The Fighting Irish, and Sundays were all about the Browns and the Lions.
