Sharon Kay (Soban) Martinez

Sharon Kay (Soban) Martinez entered this life on Friday, May 13th, 1955 in Kansas City, MO the oldest of four children to bless the home of William and Cora (Treasurer) Soban. Sharon was a hard worker that took pride in being a nurse aid, and helping others. Along her journey she met and married a wonderful man, Manuel Martinez, to enjoy the adventures with. Sharon was not one to sit still for long and had many things in life to keep her busy, including her birds, and a chihuahua that she adored. On a lazy day she could be found, crocheting comfortably in a chair, or riding around looking for a place to have a picnic. Hitting up a local flea market or shopping center looking for a good deal is something she couldn’t pass up. Sharon was very quiet until she got to know you, then her wonderful sense of humor would poor out putting a smile on everyone’s face. She loved to be around family and friends for conversation or to share a meal, cooking was a hobby and making Mexican food was her specialty. On January 23, 2021 Sharon’s busy hands came to rest when the Lord called her home in Tulsa, OK. Those that knew and loved her will miss her dearly.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Cornelius and Sallie (Bigfeather) Treasurer, parents, William and Cora Soban, brother, David Soban, and her youngest son, Christopher Oosahwee.
