Sharon Sage
A lifelong resident of Otsego, Sharon L Sage, passed away peacefully, with her family at her side on Thursday, October 24, 2013, in Kalamazoo. Sharon was born October 21, 1945, in Plainwell to Robert and Mary (Miles) Sage. For 13 years she was employed with Kal-Equip Manufacturing. She was an avid Tigers fan, never missing a game and able to recite all the stats from years past. She loved reading and had a substantial library. Sharon was very artistic, and enjoyed exhibiting her works at the Allegan fair. Several years ago she placed Best of Show at the fair with a picture of her dog. She loved animals, enjoyed following horse races, watching dog shows and caring for her parakeets. Her faith was an important part of her life.
Surviving are her sister, Janis M. (Bob) Crandall of Marshall; a niece, Lisa (Bjorn) Larson and a nephew, Robert S. Crandall, all of Marshall; a great niece and great nephew, Hannah and Andrew Larson; and a cousin, Frances Longnecker. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Cremation has taken place and a private family graveside service will be at Mountain Home Cemetery, Otsego.

Janis and Bob,
Really sorry to hear this…however, Janet had kept me abreast of the recent problems she had, etc. and I guess I’m not surprised. I am grateful for her and for you that she did not live a prolonged life in a state in which she would not be happy–or be able to do the things that made her happy. By the way, I said a silent prayer for Sharon and your family this morning….without knowing this news of her passing. My prayers, thoughts and good wishes come to you as you gently lay her to rest.
Karen

Please accept our condolences on our behalf as well as for the Otsego High School class of 1963. Sharon was a shy, but always friendly and pleasant part of our class. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Janis.
I remember being over at the house doing Boy Scout ‘stuff’. You and Sharon would watch us guys. She was always quiet,- but always near. A rare beauty about her.

Dear Jan & Bob,
How well I remember riding bikes with you and Share, heading way out Dix Street, discovering woodsy paths off the road. Share was always, always quiet and sweet and happy to go along with whatever we did. She’s been blessed to have you as her extra-supportive sister, and she’s brought lots of love to her animal friends. She will be missed. God grant you peace.
