CHARLESTON, IL – Sharon B. Foust, age 87 of Charleston, entered her Heavenly Home on Tuesday, January 31, 2017 while at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana. Services honoring and celebrating her life will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 4, 2017 at Adams Funeral Chapel in Charleston with Pastor Bill Bryant officiating. Visitation will be held on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until service time. Burial will follow in the Hunt Cemetery located southeast of Greenup in Jasper County, IL. It is requested that thoughtful donations in her honor be made to Adams Funeral Chapel to assist the family with final expenses. Gifts may be left on the memorial table at the visitation or service or mailed in care of Adams Funeral Chapel, 2330 Shawnee Dr., Charleston, IL 61920.
Sharon was born December 12, 1929 in Gary, IN, a daughter of the late Durward and Eva Fay (Snearly) Barkley. Her memory will be forever cherished by her loving family: daughter, Angela Dillman and husband Boyce and son, Stephen Foust and wife Kelly, all of Charleston; 5 grandchildren, Ashley Fisher and husband Ryan, Andrew (AJ) Winnett and wife Kaity, Derek Foust, Joey Mills and fiancé Taylor Ellis and Wade Foust; two great-grandchildren, Jace and Blaze Mills; and her twin brother, David Barkley of Charleston. In addition to her parents she was predeceased by a sister, Carolyn Mitchell and a brother, Kyle Barkley.
Sharon’s family was the center of her life and most of her activities involved them. She never missed an opportunity to be the head cheerleader for the Foust Racing team at the Charleston Speedway and her grandchildren knew there would be special treats or a home cooked meal when visiting her house. She loved having family dinners and trying new recipes – some even became family favorites such as her ice-cream pie, spaghetti pie and persimmon pudding. Sharon’s home was her sanctuary where birds of all kinds were fed, she tended her small vegetable garden every summer, and at the age of 87 still enjoyed mowing her own lawn. Sharon’s family will always treasure their many fond and loving memories.
