Southern Cayuga honors Sharshon

POPLAR RIDGE - It was quite the show and despite some sadness, a laughter-filled celebration.

The life of Cindy Sharshon was honored Sunday before a crowd of more than 200 who gathered in the Southern Cayuga High School auditorium to remember their friend, teacher, colleague and loved one.

Sharshon, 49, died of liver cancer Nov. 7. She had been diagnosed just nine months before. On Sunday, she was remembered through anecdotes, poems, and plenty of show tunes in a touching and heartfelt ceremony.
