Sharon Kay Fyte, 70, of Poplar Bluff, Mo., passed away on June 29, 2017 at her residence.
Born and raised in Hammond, Ind., she received a Bachelor's Degree from Indiana University and entered a lifelong pursuit of excellence in the field of journalism. She began work as a reporter and was soon promoted to an editorial position at the Hammond Times. She later moved to Broward County, Fla., where she continued to excel at the Sun-Sentinel until she left to earn a Master's of Divinity Degree at the United Methodist Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.
Forged in God's crucible through difficult years, Sharon ("Sherry" in her early years) was genuine, without pretense and full of humility, empathy, and a wry sense of humor. Her strong faith and enduring compassion for others framed her life.
Sharon is survived by friend and aunt, Dean (Billie) Northington, dear long-time family friend, Robert Sanders; one sister, Carol (Cliff Tower) Cramer; nieces, Tracey (Tim) Cramer-Kelly, AmyLane (Nick) Cramer-Klein, and Kathryne (Jack Riebel) Cramer; nephew, Ryan (Elizabeth) Cramer; grand-nieces, Evelyn Kelly and Amelie Cramer; grand-nephews, Isaac, Mark, and Julian Klein, Nathan Kelly, and Adrian Cramer; and numerous extended family and friends.
Sharon is preceded in death by her sister Linda Fyte, her aunt Marie Fyte, and her dear friend Millie (Bill) Dickens.
The family will hold private services at a later date.
Moore Funeral Service in Poplar Bluff is in charge of arrangements.
