Thursday is the one year anniversary of the tragic death of a well-loved Eugene community member.
Sharon Schuman was hit and killed when she was running on the Amazon path in south Eugene on April 23, 2025. The driver who hit her was convicted of manslaughter and driving under the influence of intoxicants earlier this month. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
