Miss Lima was born in Providence and raised in Warwick. She was a life long resident of Rhode Island and graduated from Toll Gate High school in Warwick where she made many lasting friendships. Sharon went on to work high end retail sales management for many years. Having always had a love for helping friends and family look their best she started her own business, owning and operating a beauty salon in Providence. Her later years were spent as a licensed Real Estate broker in Rhode Island. She spent her last years in Maine attending college to become a photographer due to her love of nature and beauty, she enjoyed capturing images on film.
Sharon was a free spirit who loved nature, life and her family. She was one to always give freely of herself to those in need. Her charity started at home but did not end there. She shared her warmth, love and infectious smile with everyone she touched. A truly beautiful person inside and out, Sharon wore life like a loose garment ready for the next opportunity to give of herself to bring a smile to someone's face. In her final years in Maine she spent time going to school, enjoying nature and surrounded by the love of a great family. She was a blessed person who also blessed all those around her with her love. She will be forever in our hearts. May she rest in peace.
A celebration of her life will be held Wednesday evening 4-6 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 6 p.m. in the PONTARELLI-MARINO Home, 971 Branch Avenue, Providence.
