Sharon Marie (Bishop) Mancuso

11/28/1954-09/25/2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Sharon Marie

(Bishop) Mancuso, beloved wife, mother, and cherished Nanny, on September 25,

2025. Sharon was born on November 28, 1954, to Jesse and Mary Sue Bishop.

Sharon’s life was defined by her compassion and dedication to others. A graduate of

Indiana State University Nursing School in 1992, she pursued her calling with

unwavering commitment. She served with distinction at Putnam County Hospital

Surgical Center and various other nursing departments within the hospital. However,

it was in hospice care that Sharon truly found her passion. She dedicated years to

providing comfort and support to those in their final journey, working for several

hospice agencies in Yardley, Pennsylvania; Avon, Indiana; and Marana, Arizona.

For 52 years, Sharon shared a loving marriage with William Phillip Mancuso Jr.,

together building a family and creating a legacy of love and laughter. Sharon is

survived by her husband Bill, children: Dena M. (Mancuso) Ferguson and her spouse

Jason Ferguson, Angela Michele (Mancuso) Hendrixson and her spouse Charlie

Hendrixson III, and William Phillip Mancuso III and his spouse Whitney Mancuso. She

delighted in her grandchildren, Clara Mae Hendrixson, Thomas Ferguson, and

Charlie Hendrixson IV. Sharon is also remembered fondly by her sister, Linda (Bishop)

Gallagher.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse and Mary Sue Bishop, and her

brother, Randall Bishop.

Beyond her professional and familial commitments, Sharon found joy in the simple

pleasures of life. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren,

nurturing her garden, expressing her creativity through drawing and painting,

sharing laughter with friends through card games and crafting, and enjoying outings

with loved ones.

A memorial service celebrating Sharon's life will be held 11:00AM, November 1st at

Cloverdale Christian Church, 11961 SR 42, Cloverdale, IN 46120.
