Sharon Farrell RIP??
This morning there is news on Facebook that Sharon Farrell passed away ... in May of this year!
This news suggests that her son kept this information secret and it was released in a FB posting by one of her other relatives.
If you go to Farrell's Wikipedia page, this "other relative" supposedly updated her information (like the date of her death), but this doesn't mean anything, because anyone can edit Wikipedia pages, often creating bogus information. The postings at Wikipedia are subject to editing by "knowledgeable people" who will either correct or delete the information later.
If you look up Farrell by doing a Google search for her name, there is virtually nothing right now, though this news supposedly "broke" within the last day. The news has been picked up by a couple of WWW sites which are kind of insignificant. There is nothing at sites like CNN so far, for example.
The fact that someone wanted to keep info about her death off the radar is not a new concept. When Lee Paul, the tall actor who appeared in the episode Skinhead, passed away, there was similar confusion, which was resolved when Paul's wife finally cleared things up somewhat after the fact. Paul's dates were June 16, 1939 – September 22, 2019.
I had e-mail contact with Farrell almost exactly three years ago, when I asked her for the phone number of stuntman John Thorp who she appeared with at the 1996 H50 convention in Burbank.
i'm sure if there is updated news about Farrell which is not "fake," we will find out soon...

I had just e-mailed Farrell at the address I had for her and got this back:
I'm sorry to inform you that the message below could not be delivered.
When delivery was attempted, the following error was returned.
<sharonfarrell@*****.com>: host mx01.mail.*****.com ... said:
<sharonfarrell@*****.com>: user is over quota (in reply to RCPT TO
command)
But I think this just means "her mailbox is full."

I was told her sister posted about Sharon's passing on Facebook.
Sister's page is https://www.facebook.com/dale.forsmoe (last name, originally Sharon's, is Forsmoe).
I can't see any posting from sister, but there is what looks like a reply from someone else, perhaps in response to a message from sister which FB has typically repressed.
This was in the H50 group on FB:
Carrie Jane Smith is feeling emotional at L.A. Downtown Medical Center.
Los Angeles, CA, United States
My Aunt Sharon Farrell has died May 15th, 2023 at LA downtown Medical Center. We don’t know details. Her son has kept it a secret for two months.
(I edited the Wikipedia page)
Also now mentioned in Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/mo...rs-1235551740/), also this site -- https://gr8erdays.com/2023/08/04/sha...ied-in-may-82/

I would say it's true based on that Hollywood Reporter article because there was A LOT of details about her career in there.
Now the entire team has passed. :( RIP, Sharon.
