She was born in Sour Lake, Texas on March 11, 1944.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Walter Edward Pope; her parents, A.B and Doris Vinson; her sisters, Barbara Jean Scott and Linda Louise Stratton.
Sharon is survived by her daughter, Carla Pope-Osborne and her husband Dwain Osborne of Austin, TX granddaughter April Osborne of Denver, CO, her brother and sister in law, Ted and Edna Westmoreland of Beaumont, TX and many nieces and nephews and her beloved dog Molly.
Sharon was a great homemaker as well as a great cook who could cook for Cox’s Army. She was well known for her big pot of chicken and dumplings -- they were the best ever! She enjoyed doing her own lawn work and keeping it neat. She loved her family, dear friends as well as her many dogs over the years. She so wanted to get stronger and be able to get back to her routine at home following hip replacement surgery. The family would like to extend a sincere thanks to Dr. George Zuzukin and Dr. Pradip Morbia for the care and friendship that they provided her over the many years. She loved them both dearly and considered them family.
The family would also like to thank a few special friends and family who were invaluable to Sharon: Kenny Glover for being the best neighbor and for always checking in on her; Lynette Osborne for always coming to her rescue when the remote control and cable wouldn’t work; Linda Howard for always making her hair look exactly the way she wanted it; MaryAnn Broussard for visiting her almost daily when she was in rehab; Whitney Choate for coming to see her in rehab every time she came in from college; Marilyn Brast for being her very best friend since elementary school--they talked almost daily. And for her daughters Tonya and Tammy for always willing to meet to pick Sharon up so they could visit and the rest of her neighbors for all the assistance they provided at different times of need.
The family will receive friends and family from 2 pm to 3 pm on Saturday July 13th at Forest Lawn Funeral Home in Beaumont.
Funeral Services will be at 3 p.m. Saturday July 13th at Forest Lawn Funeral Home with burial to follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
