Obituary
Sharon Rae (née Bell) Binder, age 86, of Hobart, IN passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July
19, 2022 at St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart, surrounded by family.
Sharon was born on August 19, 1935 in Gary, Indiana to the late Eldo and Louise M. (née
Niksch) Bell. She married William Henry (Bill) Binder on September 18, 1955 in Hobart and
spent 66 wonderful years together. She had an adventurous nature and a lively sense of humor
that she never lost. She loved fun, traveled the world, and made friends wherever she went. She
was anchored in her faith like a rock and was the cornerstone of her family.
Sharon was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where she was involved in the Ladies Lydia
Society, the Altar Guild, and the Lutheran Women's Missionary League. For many years, she
spent winters in Florida with her husband, where she was active in the ladies quilting group at
Woodland Lutheran Campground. She was a devoted wife, caring mother, loving grandmother,
adoring great-grandmother, dear aunt, and committed friend who will be deeply missed by all
who knew her.
Sharon is survived by her loving husband; three sons: Dr. Jay Binder, Michael James Binder, and
Curtis Jon (Barbara) Binder; five grandchildren: Hollina (Scott Segally) Binder, Michael Andrew
Binder, Seth (Melissa) Binder, Matthew Binder, and Rachel (Jake Thompson) Binder; four great-
grandchildren: Ethan, Alexander, Avery, and Lincoln, and another one on the way; and many
other loving family members and friends.
Sharon is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Don (Gayle) Bell.
