Sharon later married Mr. Clarence Garrett on December 10, 1965 at the Pine Haven Church of the Nazarene. Sharon truly understood what it meant to have a servant's heart. Sharon was the epitome of someone that truly put others first. This was proven in her family, her church and the community in which she served.

     Sharon was an active and longtime member of the United Wesleyan Church in Jamestown, Tn. She had a love and passion for young people. She taught the teenage class and young adult class for many years with a desire for the youth to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Sharon was truly a woman of God encouraging others to always put God first in all they do.  Sharon always said, “ You are as young as you fee” and she lived it.

     Sharon had a contagious desire to travel, camp, and she loved new adventures. If you mentioned a trip she was ready to go at a moments notice. She loved to cook for her family and friends specializing in her famous chess pie or meatloaf.  More than anything she had a passion for loving Jesus. She always looked for ways to serve others even when it meant neglecting her own care.  She took pride in sharing her love and kindness to her family, her church and community. She served many years as a volunteer at the Jamestown Regional Medical Center. Her smile and presence will be missed by many.
