Sharon Sue (Burlison) Griese

Sharon Sue (Burlison) Griese, 88 of Evansville, IN, went to her Heavenly Home on July 27, 2024 at the Heart to Heart Hospice House.

Sharon was born February 11, 1936, in Evansville, IN, to George and Gladys (Weiss) Burlison. She graduated from Bosse High School in 1954 and went to work at Keller Crescent Co. as a secretary. After having her children, Sharon was a homemaker and the biggest supporter at all of her kids’ activities. When her children entered college, she worked at Stewarts and LS Ayres for many years. In her later life, Sharon was blessed with three granddaughters who became her focus. She occupied her time after retirement attending every school event, sporting activity, and family outing. She was a member of First Christian Church for over 80 years where she participated in bible study and the Keenagers activities. Sharon was a loving wife, supportive mother, and the biggest cheerleader for her grandchildren.
