Sharon Marie Burnham of Phoenix, AZ passed away on May 9, 2021, at the age of 55, after a short battle with cancer. Sharon was a Senior Loan Processor at Fairway Independent Mortgage and was a dedicated and caring part of the team. She loved the people she worked with and enjoyed her time with them, especially during their visits to Munds Park. She frequently described her colleagues as her second family.
Sharon had a passion for the outdoors and loved watching the sunset. Some of her favorite outdoor moments were spent during her trip to Hawaii, camping, especially at Mingus Mountain and Stoneman Lake, and taking more nature and cloud photographs than anyone has time to count. If she had to be inside, Sharon could be found playing dominoes and eating midnight lasagna with family, beautifying her cozy home, or exercising her creativity by cross-stitching, quilting, or making crafts and cards which she would later gift to friends and family. Sharon was also fond of cooking and baking. If you were fortunate enough to be included on one of her Christmas gift lists, you know how amazing those chocolates were.
Family, friends, and her dog, Callie, were the most important things in Sharon’s life. Sharon was a very loving person, and she never hesitated to let others know that she cared about them. In fact, once you became her friend, you became her family. She was always dependable, loyal, and willing to lend a hand. Those that loved her, and that she loved in return, will miss her smile and personality and were certainly richer for having had Sharon as a part of their lives. Services will be held at Shadow Mountain Mortuary, 2350 E. Greenway Rd., Phoenix, AZ, on Monday, May 24th at 11am. A reception lunch will be held following the service at 12:45pm at Greektown Restaurant, 8519 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85020. If you plan to attend the lunch following the service, please RSVP to [email protected]
