Sharon is preceded in death by her father Ishmael Taylor and brother Donald Newton Taylor.
Sharon graduated from Salmen High School, class of 1980. She served as a legal secretary with Blue Williams Law Firm for 19 years. Sharon was one of a kind; had a smile that was contagious, and the best sense of humor. She was a beloved mother, wife, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt and niece. Sharon will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
The family would not have survived without our amazing community who have supported us with meals, prayers and fundraisers. We would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses and staff who cared for Sherry with the utmost compassion.
