Dallas, who all knew her as Sharon, was born March 14, 1943, in Elgin, IL, the daughter of Harold and June (Newby) Bandy. She married Duane Ulmer, in Greenville, IL, at the Smith Grove Baptist Church, on September 15, 1978.
She lived in the Greenville community for over 70 years. She and her husband, Duane, met at D & L Disposal and after they married, in 1978, they bought a house and lived in the area ever since. Sharon enjoyed working with the senior community and taking care of them by doing light housework, running errands, and just sitting with them to visit. Family and friends thought she was fun loving, family minded, concerned, thoughtful, plain spoken, and to the point. She enjoyed reading, planting gardens, visiting with friends, and taking her dog, Giget, with Duane, to the lake, for a walk.
Her father Harold Bandy, son, Kenneth Nichols, and grandson, Steven Koontz preceded her in death.
Sharon is survived by her husband, Duane; mother, June Stowe, sister Cheryl Stewart, and daughters, Jody Koontz and Janet Cook. Grandchildren, Angela Leap, Stephanie Koontz, Sierra Cook, Raven Cook, Kraig Nichols, and 5 great grandchildren, one great-great grandchild.

Sharon was always a ray of sunshine. She had a way to brighten your the mood whenever she was near. Everyone here at the office enjoyed her presence. Even when she was in pain she always had a smile.
