Family and friends remember lost life member of Hepburn Township Volunteer Fire Company

Family members and friends gathered Wednesday morning at Sanders Mortuary in Williamsport to remember Sharon Tempesco, 77, a life member of the Hepburn Township Volunteer Fire Company, who died last week at home. Besides Hepburn Township, members of several other area fire companies attended her service and took part in a procession to the State Road Cemetery, Cogan Station, where she was buried. Described as the rock of the Hepburn Township fire company, she was a genuine trailblazer, a woman with compassion for others, one mourner said at the service. Tempesco was a trained emergency medical technician, but so much more, serving many positions in the company for the past several years. Her son and Hepburn Township Fire Chief Jeff Tempesco said, “She sincerely wanted to help others.” Another fire company member said, “She meant the world to us. We loved her. We will miss her.”
