School in 1962, and married her high school sweetheart, Jack
Sharp, on Sept. 1, 1962. She worked as the bakery manager at
Chester’s Thriftway in John Day for over 20 years.
Her most cherished interests were her children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. She was an avid sports fan and support-
er, as she tirelessly followed her kids and grandkids to all their
sporting events, rodeos and 4-H fairs throughout the years. She
volunteered many hours and years in support of the Grant Union
High School baseball program, running the hamburger stand that
helped to support the program.
Survivors include her husband, Jack Sharp, of Canyon City;

ley Sharp, both of John Day; great-grandsons, Peyton Hood and

years.
