    Sharon was more like my sister than sister-in-law. I was truly blessed to have her in my life and family. There is another piece of heart that is missing. Love you my beautiful angel.

    Aunt Sharon was a beautiful human. I am so blessed that I was able to be a small part of her journey here on Earth. Rest in peace, Aunt Sharon, you’re finally home. ❤️

    Sharon was part of our BRL family. Our deepest sympathy to her husband, daughters & grandchildren.

    My aunt Sherri was the sweetest most generous person I ever knew. She always spoiled me rotten anytime I came to visit. She was so much like granny and never let anyone feel sorry for her and never complained about anything. I have nothing but great memories of my aunt Sherri. The best memories I have is when we would go to the stl zoo and six flags when I was a kid and she bought me and all the kids ice cream and hot dogs. 😂 Cardinal games too!!! It was always hilarious to watch her and her sister try to secretly pay for everything behind each other’s backs then argue about who is going to pay the bill for anything!! Swimming at aunt Sherri’s house every summer growing up was always such a treat since we didn’t have a pool. She was such an incredible person and I love her so much. If my mom ever said no to me, I knew aunt Sherri would always say yes because she wanted to spoil me! I can’t believe she’s gone now but I know that she’s now with gramma and grandpa and no longer in any discomfort.
    I love you aunt Sherri. 😢😢

    Rest in peace sweet cousin. I will miss your funny jokes and your more serious faith in God and confidence in the grace of Jesus Christ. I hope to see you again one day and hug you once again. Tell everyone in Heaven hello and enjoy your rest. Your family will miss your beautiful spirit and your courage in the face of pain and suffering. Love you always.
    Francine.

    Ronnie – I am so sorry to hear this sad news. It’s the ones left behind that have the hard time because right now Sharon is healed and whole and dancing with Jesus. So thankful we know that we will see her again. Love you and all your family and praying for comfort for all of you.

    Sharon was always so warm & sweet every time I saw her. She would embrace you with a hug and always had a smile on her face. The world was a better place with someone like her in it. She will be missed terribly.

    Sharon and I were in the same group that went downtown to feed the homeless, what a PRIVLEDGE it was to serve with her, She will be missed. Rest In Peace, Beautiful Woman.



  10. Bonnie and Vaughn Montgomery on January 11, 2024 at 8:53 pm

    Sharon was an amazing woman of God and it was such an honor to know her as extended family and friend for the past 21 years. She was such a brave and strong woman dealing with her illness. Her work at our church feeding the homeless, along with her “sister” Jeannie, was inspiring to witness when I was able to help out. I’m sure God met her at the Pearly Gates and said, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” May God watch over your family and bring peace to their broken hearts. God bless you my friend.

    Words cannot begin to express the ways Sharon will be missed



  12. Roger Nash on January 12, 2024 at 5:44 am

    Oh my sweet, beautiful cousin, I will miss you so terribly. Even though we didn’t get to see each other much in later years we were kindred spirits on Facebook and shared many memories of our childhood together. I couldn’t wait for Uncle Stubby, Aunt Ruthie, Patsy Ann, Sherri and Greg to “come in” or for the rare occasion that we were able to go to the city. My heart breaks for Ron, Missy, Jamie and the grandchildren. May you rest in peace my beautiful cuz – until we meet again…



  13. Bonnie Lieber Colburn on January 12, 2024 at 7:01 am

    An incredible human being! Strong in her opinions but willing to listen🤔 Always thoughtful, always kind. Held others up in their time of need, myself included. My childhood and lifelong friend who always made me laugh, I will miss her and will keep her family in my prayers.

    Back in the day when my Mom attended the 10:30 at Faith Oakville, Sharon, Jamie, and Grandson sat in front of us. It was cute when her grandson gave Sharon a kiss when he went to Kid’s Church. I always thought about how much they loved each other. I know she will be greatly missed. God bless Sharon’s family and friends with the peace that passes all understanding.

    Ron I am very sorry to hear this. I never knew her that long. In the times we all got together. She was always happy and funny. We chatted on Facebook. Her last comment she will be home for Christmas. I am very happy she enjoyed her Christmas.
    She was funny on her Facebook. I sent a picture of me and Dog. Her replay was Ronnie said to burn my Tshirt. I had the name Trump on it.Ron per your request. I take the shirt to my lake this summer and burn it. Love you Cuz.

    Gone too soon but a life very well lived. She touched the heart and soul of everyone she met. Always a smile and a laugh no matter what she was going through. I’m so glad to have known you your whole life my dear cousin.



  17. Class of ‘74 on January 15, 2024 at 9:29 am

    The Bayless class of ‘74 will greatly miss Sharon. She was a kind, caring friend to many. Always had a smile, quick to laugh, kind to everyone. Our reunion won’t be the same without her. Deepest sympathy to Ron and her family.

    In Loving Memory of Sharon,
    Family was the heartbeat of Sharon’s life. A devoted wife, loving parent, and cherished grandparent. She was the architect of a beautiful family that thrived on love and togetherness. Personally, I am especially grateful for the way she welcomed me into her family, making me feel not just welcomed, but an integral part of it.
    Sharon’s essence was kindness personified. She consistently went above and beyond for others, engaging in the small gestures that made each person she encountered feel genuinely special and loved. Her capacity for thoughtfulness knew no bounds, and she was without a doubt one of the kindest souls I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
    I felt that love when she called me her Son and it meant the world to me. While the pain of her absence is deep, I find some comfort in the knowledge that her spirit will endure through the love and memories we shared and in how she helped shape Missy, Jaime, Sophia, Aidan and Alexander into the people they are today and who they will become.

    In our hearts, she will always live on, a guiding light of kindness that continues to shape our lives. I know she is watching us from heaven and serving as a guardian angel for her kids and grandchildren. Rest in peace Mom.

    My dear sweet sister, I’m so not ready to let you go. My heart is broken but I know you’re in a better place where there’s no more pain and suffering. You were such an amazing, caring, loving person. You always put others before yourself. We’ll try our best to look over your beautiful daughters and grandchildren and your caring, loving husband. I can’t thank Ron enough for giving you such a wonderful life. He always took such great care of you. I hope he knows how much I love him for always being there for you. You are now at peace my sweet, sweet sister. No more pain and suffering for you. Give mom, dad and Robin’s mom a big hug from me. You will forever be in my heart. I love and miss you so much.

    Sorry for your loss Ron. I just heard about Sharon’s passing. I remember her at many of the St. Louis Merchant softball games and functions. Again Ron, my heartfelt condolences.



  21. Stephanie Hana Rockel on January 21, 2024 at 12:51 pm

    Ron, I’m so terribly sorry for your and your family’s loss of beautiful Sharon. I have always thought so highly of her since I knew her many years ago. She was the sweetest!
    I’m sure you and family will always have your wonderful memories of your lives together. I’m sending love to you all!



  22. Ed & Bobbie on January 21, 2024 at 2:20 pm

    Dear Brother, we were shocked to hear of Sharon’s passing. We know the pain that you must be feeling at this time. I wish I could tell you that it gets better in time, but you must have faith in the Lord. Sharon will be missed my many, but her suffering has ended. God bless you and your family and may the good Lord have mercy, and give you all the strength you need to move forward. Love, Ed & Bobbie
