Sharon Elaine Burgess

She is survived by her brother, George O’Neill of Longs, South Carolina, and her sister, Pat Wilson of Detroit, Michigan; her daughter, Janet Day of Centralia, Illinois; and her son, Jeffrey Legg of Cross Lanes, West Virginia.

She is also survived by her four grandchildren—Matthew Ryder of St. Albans, West Virginia; Jessica Seagle of Centralia, Illinois; Alex Legg of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Emily Legg of Dunbar, West Virginia—she had eight great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Sharon loved good food, watching game shows, and playing bingo. She also enjoyed a spirited argument now and then, a quality that was somehow part of what made her special and endearing to those who knew her. Her life was shaped by challenges, but she was deeply loved by her family. She will be remembered with affection and missed by those who knew and cared for her.

Memorial Mass will be 1:00 P.M. Tuesday September 8, 2026 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. Inurnment will follow in Cunningham Memorial Park, St Albans.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Riverside Valley Assisted Living Facility in St. Albans, as well as a very special thanks to Danielle and Thea for their care and kindness.
