Sharon Rose Secotte, obituary
Sharon Rose Secotte, 66, passed away peacefully on October 12, 2026, surrounded by the family she devoted her life to. Born on January 14, 1960, Sharon’s life was a beautiful story of love, partnership, creativity, and unwavering dedication to the people and passions she cherished most.
In 1978, Sharon united her life with her soulmate, Michael Secotte, beginning a lifelong journey built on commitment, hard work, and deep affection. Together, they raised four children—Michelle, Renee, Michael Jr., and Kevin—who were the absolute heart of Sharon’s world. She poured her love into her family every single day, creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of quiet strength only a mother like her could provide.
Sharon’s devotion extended through generations. She was blessed with 15 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, each bringing her immense pride and joy. She cherished every milestone, every visit, and every moment spent surrounded by the growing family she helped shape.
Sharon possessed a natural gift for making life beautiful. She loved decorating her home for every holiday, holding a particularly special place in her heart for Halloween, which she transformed into a magical time of creativity and excitement for everyone around her. She also brought warmth and connection to her local shop, where she spent her days selling antiques and treasures, greeting customers with genuine kindness and sharing her passion for the stories behind each item.
A true Mustang enthusiast, Sharon adored her cars and the sense of freedom they represented. She also held her CDL, proved that she could drive anything, she and Mike shared a lifelong dream to one day travel the country driving cross-country together. Sharon was also an animal lover through and through, caring deeply for every creature that crossed her path.
Sharon was predeceased by her mother, Lillian Lennox; her father, Frank Newhall; her sisters, Patricia Hall and Janice Hallett; and her brother, David Newhall.
Her enduring memory and spirit live on in her loving husband, Michael; her four children, Michelle, Renee, Michael Jr., and Kevin; her 15 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. She also held a special place in her heart for her niece Karen Secotte, her nephew Stuart Secotte, and for Tonya Thibodeau, who was like another daughter to her — a relationship built on love, trust, and family that went far beyond blood.
Sharon was a woman who loved deeply and gave endlessly. Her legacy lives on in the values she instilled, the memories she created, and the quiet strength she carried through every chapter of her life. She will be forever missed by Michael, her children, grandchildren, great‑grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
