When Janet met Robert she knew she had met the love of her life. They were wed on January 28, 1978 and married for 42 beautiful years. Together their family grew with the addition of their children, Chris, Robert Jr., and Shannon.
If you were using just two words to describe Janet, super-mom and super-wife would do the job. Janet always found time to be involved in all of Chris’s school activities. From taking on coaching Chris’s baseball team to being in charge of PTO, Janet always put her family first. Her proudest moment was when she married Robert and had her son, Chris. Family first also meant the supportive role as a business partner and wife to Robert. She spent many years traveling with Robert while he was working. She helped grow the family business of Sharpe’s Electric. Janet even had a petting zoo business and raised ostriches, llamas, goats, and even potbelly pigs!
The family first mantra didn’t stop just at the Sharp home, Janet always found time to volunteer at the Oak Cliff Fire Department. She assisted in the support group for the OCFD and brought out snacks, water, and any care package you can think of to take care of the Oak Cliff Firefighters. Janet’s volunteer at the fire department even inspired Chris to continue to make it his profession. Janet also found time to serve the best home cooked meals and going to the lake.
Janet is preceded in death by her father, Thomas A. Rea and mother, Joann (Lindley) Rea. She is survived by her husband, Robert H. Sharp Sr.; son, Chris Sharp and his children, Caden Sharp and Caleb Sharp; step-son, Robert Sharp Jr.; and step-daughter, Shannon Sharp.
