Sharon Foringer

In Loving Memory of Sharon E. Foringer

Sharon Foringer, age 73, passed away peacefully at her home on October 27, 2026, with her family by her side, following a brief illness with cancer.

Born on February 12, 1953, to Gilbert and Laura Vollmer. Sharon grew up in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, where she attended school. She was the fourth of eight children, growing up alongside her seven sisters and one brother. Shortly after marrying her husband, Rich Foringer, in 1970, she moved to Canandaigua, New York, where they built their life together and raised their two children.

Sharon is survived by her husband of 56 years, Rich Foringer; her daughter, Marci Will (Scott), her three beloved grandsons, Luka, Bryson, and Merrick Will; and her daughter-in-law, Deb Foringer. She is also survived by her sisters Gloria Billie Dugan of Altoona, Pennsylvania; Linda Lecker of St. Marys, Pennsylvania; Ellie Vollmer (Mark Meyer) of Perham, Minnesota; Marsha (Tom) Neizmik of Weedville, Pennsylvania; Ann (Jeff ) Vollmer of St. Marys, Pennsylvania; and Amy Ott Hanes of St. Marys, Pennsylvania, along with many extended family members and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her son, Rikk Foringer; her brother, Frank Vollmer; her sister, Diane McMillen; her parents, Gilbert and Laura Vollmer; and several brothers-in-law and many cousins.

Family was at the heart of Sharon's life. She treasured spending time with her husband, daughter, grandsons, sisters, and friends. Her greatest pride and joy came from caring for her three grandsons, whom she loved dearly. She had a wonderful sense of humor. When it came to caring for her grandsons, she once joked, "One was fun, two was work, and we should have discussed three!" Those who knew Sharon will remember her laughter, her honesty, and the love she gave so freely to the people closest to her.

Sharon enjoyed the simple pleasures that made life special. She loved quilting, soaking up the sunshine beside her pool, listening to music, visiting thrift stores and yard sales, and looking forward to the annual pig roast. She especially cherished the time spent with her sisters, family, and friends, making memories that will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. She held a special place in her heart for her little dogs, Rascal and Sawyer (aka :Frankie).

Throughout her life, Sharon held a variety of jobs, including selling Avon, working in factories, and providing childcare. She enjoyed talking with people and connecting with others. Her love for children was evident throughout her life, but caring for her three grandsons was the role she treasured most.

Sharon was a devoted Jehovah's Witness whose faith was a guiding force throughout her life. She found great joy in teaching others about Bible truths and sharing the hope and comfort she found in God's promises. During the final days of her life, she found peace in listening to Kingdom Melodies and having scriptures read to her.

Although her family will deeply miss her presence, they find comfort in knowing that Sharon faced death without fear. Her strong faith gave her peace, and she held firmly to the hope expressed in Jesus' words at John 11:25:
"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life."
These words reflect the hope Sharon cherished and the faith that sustained her to the end.
Sharon leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, love, and treasured moments that will never be forgotten. Her absence will be deeply felt, but the love she shared and the example she set will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the friends and family members who have offered their love, prayers, kindness, and support during this difficult time. Your thoughtfulness has brought comfort during a time of great sorrow. A special thank you to Christina and Alara for your selfless time, caring, love, and endless support.

In keeping with Sharon's wishes, there will be no calling hours. A memorial service will be held on Saturday November 14, 2026 at 1:00 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses located at 3475 Hopkins Road, Canandaigua, NY. All are welcome to attend.
