Sharon Elaine Ware Obituary

“On Saturday, December 21, 2019, Sharon Elaine Ware, surrounded by friends and family, finished her life on this earth. Endeared to her family by the varied charms of her character, Sharon will be deeply missed. In our grief, with her ever-positive spirit, Sharon would want us to remember to keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there is so much to smile about.

Born on August 22, 1948 in Owensboro, Kentucky, Sharon grew up in Oblong, Illinois, and graduated from Oblong Township High School in 1966. She went on to receive a BA in Nursing from Spalding College, and a Master’s in Public Health Administration from Penn State. In her long career in health administration, Sharon filled such roles as the Director of Marketing at St. Mary Elizabeth Hospital, the Director of Licensure and Regulation of nursing homes for the state of Kentucky and multiple Vice Presidencies at Humana and United Health managing physician credentialing, quality assessment, and new policy and program development. She also did extensive work with the National Committee for Quality Assurance assessing federal compliance for health care accreditation. The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It’s doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile. Sharon lived out this principle for her whole career.

35 years ago, Sharon met Donna and together they traveled the world as soulmates. They were married on August 1, 2014 with dear friends who together represented 104 years of faithful commitment to each other. Sharon was loved, admired, and deeply respected by everyone who knew her. She was a formidable champion for people in her work and in her personal life. Sharon was loving, compassionate, genuine, trustworthy, fearless, dedicated, and fiercely loyal. She was brilliant, inspiringly generous, and she could make a pie from scratch in minutes. Sharon never knew a stranger and she was the first to arrive when help was needed. She woke up happy and always gathered people together for fun and celebration.

Sharon is preceded in death by her parents Marjorie Louise Peters Ware, and Hilton May Ware. After the death of her father, she lovingly cared for and shopped with her mother for 15 years. She loved her mother so very much. She is survived by her spouse Donna Gish and their son Greg Gish and his wife Valerie Bronson; Wendy and Sean Lennon and their children: Christie Lennon, Jamie Lennon, and Riley Lennon; her brother Dr. J. Patrick Ware and his children and grandchildren: Mrs. Jennifer Erdoes and her husband Mr. Kenny Erdoes and their children: Emma Erdoes, Jacob Erdoes, and Nathan Erdoes, and the Rev. Patrick Ware and his wife Mrs. Jordan Ware and their children: Max Walter Ware, and Glennes May Ware; her uncle and aunt Drs. Ken and Rhoda Peters and their children and grandchildren: Dr. Chris and Mindi Peters, Julian Peters, Ava Peters, Dr. Elaine Waxman, Kelsey Waxman and Katia Waxman, and Ms. Anne Vencel, Wendy Vencel and Molly Vencel. Sharon cherished each one of us.

There will be a memorial service at a later time. Memorial gifts should be offered to the Kentucky Humane Society here: https://www.kyhumane.org/how-to-help/donate.”

Kenneth Wayman Ware Obituary, 2019

Posted on by January 3, 2020avatar

Former Montgomery County Supervisor Kenny Ware was laid to rest Monday morning in Oakwood Cemetery, following funeral services at Oliver Funeral Home.

Ware, 75, passed away on November 17, 2019, at University of Mississippi Medical Center following a brief illness. He is survived by his wife, Nina Ware, five children, 16 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

A second-generation heavy equipment operator in Montgomery County, where he lived his entire life, Ware served on the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, representing District 2, for 24 years before retiring from public office in 2015.

Former Montgomery County Chancery Clerk Talmadge “Tee” Golden, who was elected four years before Ware, served with Ware his entire tenure as a supervisor.

“Kenny took his job as a Montgomery County Supervisor seriously,” Golden said. “Kenny loved Montgomery County, but he truly loved his District 2. He gave his all for his [District]. Many a board meeting, we would argue something terrible, but when the meeting was over, Kenny would ask us to go out to eat with him and buy our meal. Since our retirement, Kenny and I have been regulars at the morning Bridges Coffee Crew, with Kenny holding court most of the time. Kenny was a very good friend, and I will truly miss him.”

In a December 2015 interview with The Winona Times, in which Ware spoke about his decision not to seek re-election in 2015, he said when he first ran for office in 1991, he hoped to accomplish two things: a county-wide road paving program and to save taxpayers money.

“I thought the supervisors made too much,” said Ware in 2015.

He pledged to only keep $500 per month and donate the remaining salary to local schools and libraries. He said during his tenure he has given more than $100,000 back to the community.

In addition, Ware said he refused to take a county-issued pick-up truck.

“Eventually, no one took a truck,” Ware said. “As far as I know, [Montgomery County] is the only county not to take a truck.”

Of his more than two decades in office, Ware said he was proud of what he and his fellow supervisors accomplished over the years, stating that during that time several new county buildings were built — like the Montgomery County Coliseum, the Life Help building, the National Guard Armory, and the Montgomery County Justice Court Complex — and the county’s paving program was launched.

Ware explained that the county issued general obligation bonds to initially fund the program – to purchase paving equipment and fund the first year. The plan included a three mill tax obligation each year earmarked for paving roads throughout the county, which at the time would pave two miles in each of the county’s five supervisor districts each year.

“[The paving program] is the big thing,” said Ware in 2015. “I believe if I hadn’t got the paving program started, I don’t think they would have a paving program today.”

Ware did not seek re-election in 2014, but he continued operating his construction business, something he said he enjoyed.
