Sharon Allinson Buell went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior on Aug. 1. She was the beloved wife of John Richard Buell for almost 47 years. Sharon was born on Nov. 12, 1952, daughter of the late Shirley Allinson and Reginald Allinson.

She loved her family more than anything in this world. She is survived by her husband John; her daughters Jennifer Buell of Westfield, Indiana and Kristin Assel (Michael) of Guilford; and her grandchildren Madison, Isaac, Sydney, Ella, and Malia Assel of Guilford. She is also survived by her brothers Thomas Allinson (Susan) of Cicero, Indiana and Timothy Allinson (Joni) of Sevierville, Tennessee; her sister-in-law Betsy Pepe (Charlie)of Supply, North Carolina; mother-in-law Ruth Buell of Branford; and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents and father-in-law John Buell.

Sharon will be remembered for her laughter and smile, her kindness to all, and her friendship to many. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Words that come to mind to describe her are faithful, devoted, sacrificial love, protector, giver, provider, encourager, fierce love, and right to the end a fighter and overcomer! She was a wife, mother, Mima, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, and friend.

The family would like to thank the staff at Yale-New Haven Hospital, specifically the loving nurses and doctors on the cardiac team who cared for Sharon in the last four years as she battled heart failure. Their kindness and love will never be forgotten!

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Word of Life Fellowship—Donations, PO Box 600, Schroon Lake, NY 12870. On the memo line please write “In Memory of Sharon Buell.” A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at 44 Woods End Rd., Guilford, CT 06437.
