Sunset: May 9th, 2025 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sharrell Rushing of Laveen, Arizona, who departed this life on May 9th, 2025. Sharrell leaves behind a legacy rooted in love, perseverance, and deep devotion to her family. Her journey through life was defined by her gentle spirit, strength of character, and a radiant heart that gave endlessly to those she loved.
Sharrell was more than just a beloved mother, daughter, and friend — she was a beacon of kindness, resilience, and compassion in the lives of many. To know her was to experience genuine warmth and understanding. She was often described by those closest to her as one of the sweetest individuals they had ever met — always putting the needs of others above her own, always ready with a comforting word or an open embrace.
Despite facing the relentless challenges of lupus, Sharrell carried herself with remarkable grace and courage. Her battle was not an easy one, but she confronted each day with a quiet strength that inspired everyone around her. She never let her illness define her spirit or diminish the love she poured into her family. Her fight was not just for herself, but for her children, whom she adored beyond measure. They were her pride, her joy, and her greatest achievement.
Sharrell’s unwavering support of her family was a constant light — whether through encouraging words, late-night talks, or simply being present in every way that mattered. Her nurturing soul left an imprint on everyone she encountered. Her love was unconditional, her patience unending, and her faith in those she loved never faltered.
As we mourn the loss of such a vibrant and loving woman, we also celebrate the indelible mark she has left on our hearts. Her memory will live on in the laughter of her children, in the stories shared by family and friends, and in the legacy of love she so beautifully crafted throughout her life.
We ask that you keep Sharrell’s children, her parents, and the entire Rushing family in your thoughts and prayers during this profoundly difficult time. May they find comfort in the embrace of their community and strength in knowing how deeply Sharrell was loved by all who knew her.
Rest in peace, Sharrell. Your love lives on.
