Shirley Ann Sharp

Shirley Ann Sharp was born on July 13, 1935 in Valiant, Oklahoma to William J (Bill) and Rubye Jewell (Prater) Calfee. She passed away listening to Christmas music on November 27, 2021. Shirley graduated from Crooked Oak High School in 1953 as Salutatorian. After attending school with him since third grade, she married Lewis Harold Sharp in 1955. Shortly thereafter Lewis received his draft notification, and they were off to El Paso and New Jersey. After his discharge from the Army, they moved back to the Oklahoma City/Del City area where David and Rick were born. They kept this area their home surrounded by family and friends for the next 60 years. In 2015 they surprised everyone and moved to Conroe, TX to live out the last years of their lives.

Shirley was unquestionably a woman of faith. She wore it proudly out in the open for everyone to see. Shirley and Lewis were founding members of Meadowood Baptist Church in Midwest City, OK, where they attended for over 50 years. After the move to Texas, they joined the Crossroads Baptist Church where Shirley enjoyed fellowship and companionship in a ladies group nicknamed “the Posse”. They kept her social calendar busy with breakfasts, lunches, and weekly movie dates.

Shirley enjoyed traveling and following her grandchildren’s events. She and Lewis traveled to almost every state in the country in their motorhome with friends and family for many years. After the move to Texas, she was able to travel with David and Patti to many places around the country but probably her most memorable trips were to London, England and the many trips to Disneyworld. She loved going to Disneyworld with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Shirley touched many hearts and will be missed by many.
