Sharon Oliver Serdinski

She was born October 26, 1944 and lived in Varina her entire life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James Alvin Oliver and Hazel Potts Oliver Manning; brother, Wayne Oliver, nephew, Dwayne Oliver, and great-nephew, Jace Oliver all of Dallas, TX.

Sharon was a sweet and gentle soul who delighted in the simple things. She found joy in family gatherings and loved spending time with old friends and making new ones – in a park, a library, a restaurant and even an elevator! She never had to be convinced to “sit a spell” and hear your latest news. She enjoyed day trips, animals of all kinds and anything chocolate! We will miss her enthusiasm and her smile!

She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Richard Serdinski; brother, Keith Oliver and his wife, Janet of Henrico; sister-in-law, Faye Whitlock Oliver of Dallas,TX; many cousins, especially her buddy, Robin Bowles and husband, Danny; nieces and their spouses, Dana Oliver of Dallas, Dee and Ross Pendergast of Pearland, TX, Andrea and Brian Saunders of Glen Allen, Caitlin Oliver of Baltimore; and nephew, Corey Oliver of Richmond; and “the kids”, Gracie, Garrett, Trevor, Dylan, Miranda, Ty, Ella Grace and Jackson.

The family will receive friends at Nelsen Funeral Home, 4650 S Laburnum Avenue on Friday, January 7, from 6-8 pm.

Graveside service will be held at Four Mile Creek Baptist Church cemetery, 2950 New Market Road on Saturday, January 8 at 11:00 am with Rev. Howard Germany, pastor of Carlisle Avenue Baptist Church, officiating.
