She was born December 31, 1945, in Rockville, Indiana, to the late Frank Rigdon and Jewell Nevins Rigdon.
Sharon was a graduate of Rockville High School and earned her nursing degree from Indiana State University. She was a registered nurse and dedicated more than 30 years of her life to caring for others. She worked for 20 years at Union Hospital in Terre Haute and for 10 years at the Plainfield Correctional Facility before retiring.
She is survived by three sons, Christopher Worthen of Troy, Illinois, Matthew Worthen of Rockville, and Joshua Worthen of Terre Haute; one granddaughter, Sierra of Terre Haute; two nephews, Roger and Doug. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Mary and June.
Sharon loved being outdoors, tending to her garden, and planting flowers that brought beauty to her home and joy to those around her.
The family will celebrate her life privately at a later date.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Gooch Funeral Home & Crematory, Rockville.

When Bellmore consolidated with Rockville, my sister Sharon & I already knew Sharon R. because she was Janet Michael's friend. A few years ago, I learned that she was related to my Nevin's cousins. Small world. RIP, Sharon.
There were six girls in Mrs. Webster’s first grade class at Bridgeton School. Sharon was one of the six. We girls always played in the classroom house during indoor recesses or when Mrs. Webster wanted for us to act out the “Three Little Pigs.” I can still see Sharon in my mind’s eye…a tiny almost frail little girl in a brown patterned dress with black maryjane shoes. She was painfully shy and yet her eyes took in everything with great interest. At the end of first grade Sharon had moved…our paths would once again cross when Bridgeton High School closed and I attended Rockville. Sharon and I were once again in the same class. After graduation I never saw Sharon again as life took us on separate paths…but I will always remember her as one of my first school friends. Dearly and fondly rest in peace.
The last time I saw Sharon was at the 36 saloon during Reunion Week a few years ago. We were dancing on the patio while the band played. RIP, my friend.
