Sharon may have been called “” but she was mighty!

She loved fiercely, lived honestly, stood up for what she believed was right, and lived out her FAITH each day.

Tho’ almost all of her grandchildren lived in other states, she always thought about them, loved them, kept every picture of them, and when she could, she sent them gifts.

It was important to her that every month she posted to the best of her ability, everyone’s birthday on Facebook. She kept it up even after she got the cancer diagnosis.

No one was a stranger, she had love for everyone, even people she just met. In fact, she made several good Facebook friends all over the world and each morning she would wake up and check in on every single one of them, every morning, before she did anything else. I’m sure they miss her morning check-ins.

Some of her favorite shows were Phantom of the Opera, Star Wars, The Mandalorian, and Grogu. Her last Birthday Party was Mandalorian themed.

She had a love of good food with good friends and family, always had to have dessert; loved summer and despised winter; she loved the water, swimming pool, ocean, or on a boat, she was in her happy place; going to a theater to watch a movie; hanging out at a park picnic, or beach cookout. She wasn’t a sports fan but she enjoyed attending the Threshers games with fireworks. She loved all animals, especially dogs, horses and cats. She enjoyed driving her convertible with the top down wind in her hair. It brought her so much pleasure.

Please make plans to attend her Celebration Of Life on June 1^st, 2024, at Holiday Bible Church located at 4807 Mile Stretch Rd, Holiday, Florida, 34690. 1pm Reception, Service at 2pm, and dinner to follow in the fellowship hall.
