Sorry to read about your mother’s passing. For me she was a joy in her leadership. Scott Wallace

Geraldine, you always had a contagious smile on your face anytime we saw you.  What a wonderful family to be a part of. 
GOD bless you Geraldine. 

You all are in our prayers at this time.  Gerry was a wonderful and gracious person, not to mention her wonderful musical talent which was outstanding.  She was so inviting to me and always made me feel so welcome in her home.  She was a lesson in hospitality as well as music.  She was a blessing.

I have many fond memories of Mrs Sharpley. She was my piano teacher for 10+ years and did an awesome amount to instill confidence, creativity, and a love for music as well as my fellow human. She was an exemplary teacher of music and so amazingly open minded. I remember many times bringing her music I was excited about and her listening and giving honest feedback even if it was far outside her usual genres. As much as an inspirational musician as she was, years later I’m still impressed by how caring and empathetic she had been to me and taught me to be to others.  I’m incredibly blessed to have had her as a teacher and friend.

Mrs Sharpley is a loving, kind, and joyful friends with many Singapore and Malaysia international students. The Christmas parties is a highlight during our Christmas time. We really miss her.

Dear Sharpley family,
My sympathy on the loss of your dear Geraldine. She was important to so many people, as you know. My memories of her are as a musician, with whom I was fortunate enough to share numerous experiences performing, and listening to her beautiful piano playing. She brought so much happiness to the world, and I know you will miss her very much.
With love, Suzie Marion

We plan to attend the celebration of life - for dear Geraldine - plus bring a condolence card at that time.  

Music is divine - & Geraldine's wonderful music certainly exemplified the divine.  And she was, & still is, absolutely DIVINE!

Love, Cindy & Dave Kuenneke

Mrs. Sharpley had a beautiful way of making everyone she met feel important and loved. She taught me piano for 11 years, though we likely spent a majority of my lessons chatting and laughing instead of actually practicing. She was like a grandma to me and I’m sure others felt the same way. Her energetic excitement for life is something I’ll carry with me forever. 💙

I still retain everything she taught me, though its been years by now. I'm forever thankful to have had her as a teacher and saddened that she is gone. I treasure the memories I got to have with her

Geraldine was certainly a special person and will be remembered for her faith and joy, and certainly her gift of music.  She was one of my Sunday School teachers as a youth and certainly impacted many lives through her faith and music. Marianne and I were blessed to have her play at our wedding. My prayers are with Nancy, Janet and John and the rest of your family.

Geraldine was a phenomenal keyboardist.  I could hum a few bars of a tune, and she could pick it up and play it.  She performed a 30 minute concerto by Schubert for Virginia Miller’s funeral on two days’ notice.  Such a warm, good-humored, Christ-honoring, incredible talent!

I had the good fortune as the drummer for Kirkwood South Christian Church for several years to play with Geraldine when she and her husband came to visit. Her lively style of playing, the twinkle in her eye, and her vibrant personality always showed through. So talented, and so compassionate. A lovely soul.

Mrs Geraldine Sharpley will be missed by many, including some of us in Singapore who were blessed by her warm personality, friendship and generosity . Condolences to the Sharpley family. 

Loved playing go fish with mom. She beat me most of the time! Even though she was napping while we were playing!

Dear Geraldine, thank you for being my Sunday School teacher back in the day of Magnolia Christian Church. You loved to share your love of God and music and it showed! You truely left a legacy. See you in Heaven, love,
Debbie Broadhead Brandt

To the Sharpley/Hutchinson Family, thank you for sharing your folks with us.  We’ll be there with you all in spirit.  Love and hugs to you all.  
Linda Beth and Neal

We are truly saddened by Geraldine’s passing! We have never known a kinder, gentler soul and can honestly say there is a hole in humanity where this great woman once stood! Her legacy lives on in all the students she has taught and the lives she has touched!
May God’s Grace give you all peace and comfort!


Known and loved the Sharpley family since 1963.   Geraldine played for my son's wedding and picking out the music with her is a treasured memory.  But every moment with any of the family is a treasured memory.
