Sharon Cope Benrock, 67, of Benton, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, December 12, 2024.
Sharon was born on February 28, 1957, in Calloway County, Kentucky, to the late Jimmie Cope and Sue West Cope. Earlier in her life, she attended South Marshall High School and later received a degree in Applied Science from West Kentucky Community and Technical College. Her entrepreneurial spirit and compassion for animals eventually led her to become the owner of The Pet Palace in Benton, Kentucky, where she perfected her craft of pet grooming and affectionately cared for all of her client’s pets as if they were her own. Sharon enjoyed the beauty of being outdoors and the simple pleasures of camping or going to the lake. Her creative side was evident in her love for painting pictures and writing and her ability to teach herself how to play the piano by ear. As a member of New Harmony Baptist Church, her faith and loving heart touched many lives. For Sharon, family always came first and was the cornerstone of her life. Her kitchen was the heart of her home, where she enjoyed cooking and hosting family meals.
Sharon is survived by her daughter, Rachel McCary (Grant) of Paducah, Kentucky; one son, Joseph Benrock of Benton, Kentucky; one sister, Mary Sue O’Daniel (Matt); and one grandson, Jack McCary.
She was preceded in death by one son, Jeremy Benrock; one brother, Gary Cope; and her parents.
