She spent many years as a homemaker, caring for her children. She later worked at Tyson Foods in North Little Rock, AR, for several years.

She also enjoyed taking her little dog, Stubby, on walks. The family extends special thanks to everyone at Family Church and the great friends that have helped them endure this difficult time. May you all be blessed beyond measure. A celebration of Sharon’s life will be held 11 a.m. Saturday March, 5th, Family Church - Conference Room A, Pine Bluff, AR. www.familychurch.ws
