Born on July 7, 1938, in Dimmitt, Texas, Sharon was the youngest of eight children born to Norris L. and Choctaw (Freeney) Wesson. She graduated from Dimmitt High School in 1958 and attended the Texas Tech University School of Nursing for one year before beginning her life’s greatest calling, building a home rooted in love and faith.

Sharon began her professional journey at the First State Bank of Dimmitt where she met Richard Scott Blackmore Sr. On March 29, 1959, they were married in Dimmitt, Texas. Together they shared 52 wonderful years, raising four children and later rejoicing in the blessings of grandchildren and her great-granddaughter. Sharon was a devoted wife, a nurturing mother, and a proud grandmother whose heart was always centered on family.

A born entrepreneur, Sharon and Richard’s first business venture together was raising and showing miniature Doberman Pinschers. Later, she owned Marrow’s Nut House in Greenspoint Mall. In the early 80’s she became The Manager of Spring Branch Savings & Loan. Her final position was with the Oak Ridge MUD, where she served faithfully until her retirement.

Throughout Sharon’s life her love of learning never waned. She continuously studied The Bible and lived her life as a true example for Christ. She was a wonderful role model to all who crossed her path. A creative and curious spirit, she found joy in continuing her education, taking several courses of interest. She also enjoyed organizing, and exploring artistic pursuits such as calligraphy, painting, & sewing.

Those who knew Sharon will remember her as one of the kindest, most gentle souls. She possessed a rare gift for encouragement, always seeing the good in others and offering words of hope and inspiration. She lived her life by the greatest commandment found in Matthew 22:36–40: to love God with all her heart and to love others as herself. Helping people was her passion, whether giving rides to appointments, donating to causes, or simply lending a listening ear. She often said, “I’m glad I had the opportunity to help.”

Sharon leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love and faith that will live on through her family. She is survived by her daughter, Julie & Kenny Davis of Spring, Texas; her sons, Richard Scott Blackmore II of Spring, Texas; Michael Clay and Lilia Blackmore of Rockville, Maryland; Robert Blackmore of Spring, Texas. and Tamera Blackmore of Willis, Texas. She was the proud grandmother of Chasity, Chantel, Courtney, Chad, Andrew, Chris, Isabelle, Daniel and great-grandmother to Olivia.

Sharon will also be remembered by her many friends, nephews, nieces, cousins and by her two nieces, Billye Morgan and Janice Andrews, and two nephews, Steve Wesson and Mac Wesson, all of whom were close to her age and grew up alongside her, sharing a special lifelong bond.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard Sr.; her grandson Richard Scott Blackmore III; her parents, N.L & Choctaw Wesson; and her siblings Gertrude Peoples, Norris Wesson, Helen McClain, Louise Wesson, Edwin “Bud” Wesson, Martha “Jo” Kirkpatrick, Robert “Bubby” Wesson, and Peggy James.

She will be remembered for her steadfast love for the Lord, her devotion to her family, and the lasting legacy of faith she leaves behind. Though her absence is deeply felt, her loved ones rejoice knowing she is now in the presence of the One she loved most.
