Sharon Elaine Collins, 83, of Indianapolis, Indiana, passed away on November 11, 2026. She was born on February 15, 1943, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Clifford Lewis Moore and Irene Adele Roberts.

Sharon was a loving and caring woman who worked hard her entire life. She spent many years working as a waitress while raising her children as a single mother, doing everything she could to provide for them. She had an incredible work ethic and always made sure her children came first. Sharon was proud of her family and loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren dearly. Spending time with them was one of her greatest joys.

Sharon was a devoted Indianapolis Colts fan and loved watching the games every weekend with family and friends. She also enjoyed country music and was a big Elvis Presley fan, collecting memorabilia over the years.

Her Christian faith was an important part of her life. Sharon also shared a wonderful relationship with her husband, Joseph, affectionately known as Joe B. He was the love of her life, and even after his passing, she spoke about him often and missed him every day.

Sharon is survived by her children, Robert L. Collins, Trena Adele Collins-Brinkmann, and April Marie Lawson; her brother, Jeffery Roberts; her grandchildren, Joe Collins, Matthew Hall, Betty Spalding, Lisa Hall, Michelle St. John, Michael Lawson, Trisha Hall, Dustin Lawson, Michelle Ewing, and Chris Brinkmann; 35 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends.

She was preceded in passing by her husband and love of her life, Joseph "Joe B" Lucas; her daughter, Melissa Elaine Hall; her grandson, Matthew Hall; her parents, Clifford Lewis Moore and Irene Adele Roberts; and her siblings, Judith Mangrum, Gerald Moore, and Paula Kriech.

Sharon will be remembered for her strong work ethic, her caring nature, and the love she had for her family. She worked hard, enjoyed the simple things in life, and loved being surrounded by the people who meant the most to her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
