Sharon E. Sharrieff

Ea was the second child born to Ethel and Raymond Sharrieff on May 31, 1945 who preceded her in death as did her sister Clara Marie Sharrieff. She left behind her sisters Aleatha and Zainab (Tina); her brother Hassan; her grandson Cameron; her only son Munier; and her husband Khalid. She has many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, who will miss her presence.

Ea is a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and a devoted friend. Through her strength, courage, intelligence, and unrelenting optimism and insight, she was an example of inspiration and a role model for many. She was well versed in holistic health and an avid reader. She encouraged others to improve their health status through a plant based dietary life style.

Ea was also a self-made Real Estate Entrepreneur with a cache of many properties that she owned and managed in partnership with her husband. She is a certified astrologer always with a connection to the universe, a talented graphic artist who has a line of greeting cards that she developed and marketed. She was a creative spirit that had an eye for detail.

Loving memories will be cherished by family and friends as she transitions into a peaceful existence.

"I do not choose to be common. It is my right to be uncommon. I seek opportunity to develop whatever talent I possess, not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail and succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.

I prefer the challenges of life, to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm of utopia.

For the Grace cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee, they that go down into the pit cannot, hope for thy truth. The living, the living shall praise thee, as I do this day. The mother to the children shall make known thy truth."
