My mom went through life saying, “I was Lynn's wife, Shonna’s mom, Tony’s sister, John‘s daughter, Jo’s daughter, the grandchildren's and great grandchildren's Nana.” Now, I would like to tell you a little more about Sharon and her life prior to joining her husband, Lynn, in heaven on November 26, 2023.
Sharon Lee Neenan Inman was born on June 30, 1947, in Baltimore, Maryland to John and Jo Ellan (Mingilino) Neenan. Sharon was blessed with one brother, Tony Neenan (with daughter Erin, grandson Aidan). Sharon lived in Maryland until she was 16 years old.
At that time, she moved to Grand Prairie, Texas. She graduated with the Class of 1965 from Grand Prairie High School. During that time, she met the love of her life, (Edward) Lynn Inman. Sharon and Lynn were married in 1965 and were together until Lynn's death in 2014. During their 49 years of marriage, they had one daughter, Shonna. Shonna met and married Wayland Stringer and had two children, Jessica and Laura. Sharon was a very proud Nana of Jessica (with Dominick) and Laura (with Bret) and to her six great grandchildren. Sharon was the proud owner of several beloved dogs including Einstein, Max, Coco and Bella.
Sharon was very logical in her thought processes, and very protective of those things and people that she cherished and loved. Sharon worked very hard to build a career in the insurance industry to provide a better life for her family. Sharon was known for her cooking and cake decorating, which they turned into a part-time wedding catering business with Lynn and their good friends Jim and Ann Moon. Sharon would also make every experience a learning opportunity.
Sharon found much joy in helping others and was always quick to give a hand. Sharon served in many roles through her life, for churches (i.e. Fairview Baptist Church and South Park Baptist Church) and community organizations like Christian Women’s Job Corps-Grand Prairie. Sharon also loved to sing and participated in many choirs and as well enjoyed southern gospel music.
Sharon had many great friends, and some of her greatest joys were spent around the swimming pool making memories. Sharon loved playing games (even accusing her son-in-law of cheating by being too logical in a Star Trek: The Next Generation Party they hosted, where he was playing the role of Data). Sharon would create handmade ceramics, expressed her passion in arts and crafts, discussing and displaying her love for depression glass, or sharing her collection of jewelry. She loved fiercely and anyone who knew her knew that next to her love for God, her family was her number-one priority.
It was a joy and honor to be Sharon’s daughter.
If you have it in your heart, you are welcome to make a love offering in her name to Celebrate Recovery at the Oaks Baptist Church, Grand Prairie, Texas.
