Sharon Rose (Singerman) Covell, 87, of Boone, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2026.

Born on April 17, 1938, in Dallas, Texas, Sharon was the daughter of the late Harry and Belle (Locke) Singerman. She spent her formative years in Louisiana and Mississippi, graduating from Terrebonne High School in Houma, Louisiana. In 1959, she graduated as a Registered Nurse from Touro Infirmary School of Nursing in New Orleans.

In 1961, she married the love of her life, Terry Blair Covell. After living in Gretna, Louisiana, they moved to Boone in 1973. While Sharon worked part-time as a nurse, her true calling and greatest pride were found within the walls of her home. She was instrumental in the upbringing of her four children and remained a constant, guiding presence in the lives of her grandchildren.

In her later years, Sharon returned to her caregiving roots with profound devotion, serving as the primary caregiver for her husband, Terry, before his passing in 2023. Her life was a testament to the quiet strength of family, and nothing brought her more joy than witnessing the lives and achievements of her children and grandchildren.

Sharon was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 62 years, Terry; her parents; and her brother, Mehl C. Singerman.

She is survived by her children: Wesley Covell and wife Sherry, Sherri Lowder and husband Claude, Rachel McAllister, and Alice Harmon and husband Eric. Her legacy of love continues through her nine grandchildren: Abby, Ben, Trey, Christopher, Sierra, Nicholas, Sam, Andrew, and Leah; and her two great-grandchildren, Yuri and Mikhail. She also leaves behind many dear friends in the High Country.

In keeping with her wishes, a formal celebration of life will be held at a later date when her family can gather together in the mountains she called home.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations be made to either the Watauga Humane Society (P.O. Box 1835, Boone, NC 28607) or Grace Builders via Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church (115 E King St, Boone, NC 28607).
