Sharon Thornton

January 11, 1951 — November 11, 2023

Sharon Thornton, age 72, of Toledo, passed away peacefully Saturday, November 11, 2023 at home with loving family by her side. She was born on January 11, 1951 to Joseph and Susan (Warnock) Zelienka in Chicago, Illinois. Sharon graduated in 1968 from Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois. She worked as a secretary throughout her career mainly with Rudolph Libbe/GEM Industrial. Sharon also worked at Flower Hospital in the gift shop for many years. She was an avid reader, enjoyed cooking, and baking with her grandchildren. Sharon loved to shop and also collect shoes, squirrels and snowmen.
