Sharon Jane Grieve, 82, of Marshall, IL, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Union Hospital.Sharon was born on August 30, 1944, in her family home in Clark Center, Clark County, IL. She was the daughter of Lloyd and Audrian (Linton) Hendrix. She married the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Grieve, on July 9, 1966. This year, they celebrated 60 wonderful years together. From this marriage, they were blessed with three spirited daughters: Shannon (Gary) Switzer, Shelley (Scott) Murphy, and Becky Grieve.Sharon always had an adventurous side. After graduating from Marshall High School, she took off to Sandwich, IL, with friends and later moved to San Diego, CA. Eventually, she returned to Marshall, where she met the love of her life, Bob Grieve.Who would have thought that meeting a man in uniform at a filling station, who turned out to be much younger than she initially thought, would lead to a lifelong love lasting more than 60 years? The gas station business became a big part of their lives, and together they owned and operated several stations over the years. Sharon was the bookkeeper until they purchased the Phillips 66 in Marshall. From that point on, we referred to them as having “his and hers” gas stations. Dad took care of the service side of the business, including oil changes, tire repairs, and full service at the Marathon Gas station, while Mom took care of the lottery tickets, the morning coffee crowd, and, of course, finding out all the “T” around town at the Phillip 66s.If you were disrespectful to any of her customers, she wouldn't think twice about telling you to leave and never come back. That may have happened a time or two! Sharon spent countless hours with her daughters, running them to school events and trying to keep them out of mischief. Sometimes, that was easier said than done, especially with the first two, who always seemed to be getting into something as little girls. As Sharon would say, “What one didn't think of, the other would!” Sharon was not only an amazing mother but also a very devoted grandmother, or, as her grandchildren lovingly called her, “Mama.” She was always coming up with fun and memorable activities for them. She taught them how to use a hammer and even how to shoot a BB gun and crafts. She is also know for the best chocolate sheet cake! Rules didn't matter quite as much when it came to the grandkids. It wasn't unusual to find Dr Pepper in their sippy cups, or to discover that they had been given extra-strong sweet tea. Being Mama meant making memories, having fun, and spoiling those grandbabies every chance she got.Sharon is survived by her husband, Robert “Bob” Grieve; three daughters, Shannon (Gary) Switzer, Shelley (Scott) Murphy, and Becky Grieve; and five grandchildren, Ryan Fonner, Miranda (Ian) Keller, Micah (Kent) Hinesley, Chase Murphy, and Andrea (Mason) Oldham.She is also survived by three great-grandchildren: Kinslee and Lillie Keller and Graham Hinesley. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Audrian Hendrix; her siblings, Harold Hendrix, Carolynn Claypool, Beverly Higginbotham, and Bill Hendrix; her son-in-law, Ed Stroud; and her grandson, Colt Stroud.
