Sharon (Pie) Dauber-Anderton was born in Hutchinson, KS. The youngest child of Carl E. Dauber and Marie Anna Wyler-Dauber-Chase. Her spirit departed her earthly body on June 3, 2024, at home in Illinois. She attended Hutchinson schools and graduated Hutchinson High. She lived and worked in California and Colorado before returning to Kansas. She married Ronald (Andy) Anderton in Wichita, KS and they eventually settled in Hutchinson. They were blessed with a daughter, Shawn Marie, that was the light of her life. Sharon and Ron divorced after 22 years, but remained forever friends.
Sharon is survived by her daughter Shawn Marie Anderton of Illinois, brother Dick and wife Adrienne Dauber, sister-in-law Leona (Carl) Dauber, many nieces and nephews, soul mate cousin Donna (Punk) Alfaro, and faithful friends Karen Almanza, Pat Dawson, and Jan Clifford, and her two grand-kitties that loved to keep her company.
She was preceded in death by her father who was killed by a drunk driver when Sharon was 16 and a senior in high school, her best friend and mother, her loving step-father Thomas A. Chase, only sister Beverly Hendershot-Paque, brothers Carl and Terry and wife Nevada, and nephews Jeffery and Danny Dauber, Clinton and Ronnie Hendershot and her beloved Yorkies Muffin and Annabelle and cats Bullseye and Jack.
Sharon was an indominable spirit, a loving motherly figure to so many, a caring soul who always put others first, ready to rescue any animal, an advocate for the underdog, someone you were immediately drawn to talk, a great artist, loved to dance, and she was loved more than anything by her daughter.
