Nancy Jeane Sharlow

Nancy J. Liberty Sharlow, 88, a resident of Crystal Lake Park, Wauchula, Florida passed away peacefully into the lord’s arms on Thursday, July 23, 2026. She was born on April 16th, 1938, in Burlington, Vermont, the daughter of the late Francis S. Krupp and Dorothy G. (Muir) Krupp. Nancy grew up in Williston, Vermont and was raised on the family farm with her two brothers Patrick and Oscar. Nancy attended Cathedral High School and graduated in 1956. She had a fierce compassion and love for animals from rescuing wild animals (birds with broken wings), nursing them back to health and releasing them back to the wild, to her pets who were part of the family and that she would do anything for. Nancy worked at General Electric for several years’ eventually settling down to be a homemaker raising her two daughters and taking care of her niece, Patty Krupp. She was active and was a member of the women’s bowling league for several years. She also played and pitched on the women’s softball league when that was first introduced. Her true love was snowmobiling and she was in a club where every weekend they all ventured out on their escapades blazing the trails. Her passion was cooking, gardening and being outdoors, so that’s why it was no surprise when she moved to Florida in the early 2000’s to be in a warmer, more comfortable climate. She eventually was joined by her daughter Laurie who stood by and cared for her in her later years. We will miss her crazy sense of humor and the ability to always laugh. Nancy is survived by her two daughters, Laurie Radvar of Wauchula, Florida, and Lisa Liberty of South Burlington, Vermont., sister-in law, Nancy Krupp of Williston who is married to her brother Oscar, niece; Patricia Krupp of Colchester, nephews; Bruce and Katy Thompson of St. Albans, Tony Thompson and his partner Carolyn Snyder of Jericho, Jerry and Ruth Thompson of Milton, and Kevin and Elizabeth Thompson of San Diego, California, and their families respectively. First cousins; Jeanette (Muir) and her husband Ralph Leo of Colchester and Gary Muir of Montpelier. She was predeceased by her father; Francis Krupp, mother, Dorothy Krupp (Muir), brother, Patrick Krupp and his wife Nancy Krupp and brother Oscar Krupp; uncle, Archie Muir, aunt, Rachel Muir, and cousin Anthony (Tony) Leo. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff from VIVO Nursing Home for the care and love for making Nancy’s transition into eternal life peaceful.
