   Sharon Lynn Heller-Pifer, age 57, of Flora, Illinois, passed away on Tuesday, September 5, 2017, at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.

   Sharon was born July 25, 1960, in Effingham at St. Anthony’s Hospital, the daughter of Donald Dwayne and Gracie June (Porter) Atteberry.  She was united in marriage to Kevin W.
