Sharon E Gill

Sharon Elaine Gill, age 85, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, passed away on October 30, 2026. Born in Norfolk County, Virginia, on May 27, 1941, Sharon spent over 70 years making her home in the Chattanooga area.

A compassionate and dedicated caregiver, she served as a registered nurse at Memorial Hospital, retiring after more than 30 years of faithful service. Sharon was also a deeply devoted and active member of Hixson Presbyterian Church for more than 50 years.

She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Doris Ellen Pinkston, and father Howard Walter Rigsby.

Sharon’s legacy of love continues through her children: Taylor Gill, Amy Gill Martin and her husband Calder, and Curt Gill. She was the cherished grandmother, “Gmommy,” of Samuel (Haley) Gill, Tucker Gill, Calder Martin Jr., Willa Martin, Davis Gill, Curtis Gill, and Louisa Gill; and the proud great-grandmother of Ellie Jimerson and Tripp Gill. She also leaves behind her siblings, Ronald (Linda) Rigsby, Terry (Charlotte) Rigsby, and Diana (Bob) Young, alongside many extended family members and dear friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made in her honor to Hixson Presbyterian Missions.

A special thanks to LifeCare Center of Red Bank for taking such good care of her in her final months.
