Sharon Applegate, age 78, passed away peacefully on September 12, 2025, at 10:43pm in Sun City Center, Florida.  Born in St. Louis, Missouri to Evelyn and Wilburt Long, Sharon was the cherished sister to James Long.

 

Sharon is survived by her loving husband, William Applegate, and her daughter, Terra Applegate.  She was a devoted wife, mother and friend, known for her infectious laughter and unwavering love for animals.  Sharon's passions were many, but she especially loved playing pickleball, traveling and spending time with her family and friends.

 

A graduate of Southern Illinois University, Sharon earned her Bachelor's in Education before beginning her career at Fireman's Fund, as an insurance underwriter. Sharon's warmth and dedication will be missed by all who who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of loyalty and love.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Sharon’s memory to Best Friends Animal Society a cause she held close to her heart. https://bestfriends.org
