Sharon Jean McNally

She was born in Keene, on July 12, 1946, the daughter of John and Beulah (Seaver) McNally. She has lived in the area for many years.

Sharon was a joy to her family and to those who knew her. Her interests included socializing with friends at New Hope New Horizons, exercising at the Keene Recreation Center, bowling, arts and crafts and listening to and making music. Sharon loved balloons, carving pumpkins and trips to Friendlies with her mom.

Sharon’s playful nature and wonderful sense of humor were engaging and her laughter was contagious. She loved going on walks with her caregivers and fist-pumping joggers as they passed by.

Sharon is survived by her sister Kate McNally, and husband, Clay Bradley, of Marlow; sister Susan Berry, and husband Steve, of Shreveport, LA; niece Lael Oldmixon, and husband Mark, and children Quinn and Mae; niece Maggie Greenlee, and husband Matt, and son Danny; nephew Chris Berry, and wife Heather, and children Hannah, William, and Abrahm; as well as her larger support family.

Her parents, John and Beulah McNally died earlier.

Calling hours for Sharon will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. at the Keene Unitarian Universalist Church, 69 Washington St., Keene, NH followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m.
