Obituary

Sharon Carlin, 82, of Pekin passed away on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Paisley Manor in Pekin, IL.

Sharon was born on December 27, 1943, in Pekin, IL, the daughter of Richard and Mildred (Powers) Guengerich.

Sharon is survived by her children, Brian Carlin, Aaron (Michelle) Carlin, and Teresa (Michael) Robbins; her brother, Mike (Brenda) Guengerich; her grandchildren, Brittany (Doug) Welk, Brooklyn (Jaron) Harnacke, Brighton (Bailey) Larson, Kaleena Hooper, Lucas Carlin, Hutson Carlin, and Joel Carlin; her great-grandchildren, Mykah Welk, Jaxon Welk, Brantley Harnacke, and Hendricks Harnacke; and sister-in-law, Bonnie Guengerich.

Sharon was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Gerald, Richard, and Joseph; and her favorite cats, Piglet and Marbles.

Sharon’s pride and joy were her grandchildren; going to their games and activities. She often joked about loving her grandkids more than her own children. She was an excellent seamstress and made many of her children’s clothing while they were growing up. Sharon was a 4H leader and had a passion for crochet; making every grandchild a blanket including all the great-grandchildren.

A memorial service for Sharon will take place at 11:00am on Friday, August 21, 2026, at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln, IL. Visitation will take place prior to the service from 10:00-10:45am also at the funeral home. A private family burial will take place after the services in Lakeview Cemetery in Pekin, IL. Memorial donations may be made in Sharon’s name to The Alzheimer’s Association.
