Sharon Elizabeth Sanford went be with our Lord on May 26, 2023. She was 76 years of age. Sharon’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren called her Nanny.

Sharon is survived by her children Charlotte Walker and Jeff Sanford, 5 grandsons Thomas Walker, Clayton Walker, Josh Sanford, Zac Sanford, and Colton Sanford, and 7 great-grandchildren: Serenity, Elizabeth, Scotty, Kristin, Clinton, Eddie, and Lilah, and a sister Essie Geis.

She was preceded in death by her husband Tommy Sanford, her father and mother, Estel Robison and Edith Robison, her brothers Doug Robison, Calvin Robison, and Donnie Robison, and her sister Nettie Grady. She is with them now.

Sharon was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend. She was cherished by everyone and loved to take care of everyone.

Her heart was bigger than the universe. She was always loving and always caring. When she looked at anyone, she only saw someone that God loves. She displayed grace consistently. She will be greatly missed but is with her Savior now and at peace.

    Q: How did you meet Sharon? A: Sharon and I met in the summer of 1961, through Tommy. Tommy was like family and he wanted me to meet the love of his life, Sharon. Tommy and Sharon and Jeff Dennis and I went on a double date to Burns Run. We listened to music, laughed, and walked on the beach. Sharon was the cutest and sweetest girl and we became friends. Sharon and Tommy were married and later Jeff and I married and we all started a family. Then Jeff went in the Army and we left for many years losing contact with our friends. We reunited in 1990 when I moved back home after Jeff passed away. I saw Sharon at Dillard's and it was like we never lost contact. I would see Sharon and Tommy often and we had so much to catch up on. We made plans to get together. Sharon was such a loving ,caring person and I'll never forget her. Sharon and Tommy were the sweetest couple and now thier together again in Heaven. I love you Sharon and will miss you and we'll get together one day in Heaven. Prayers for peace and comfort for your loving family, Amen 🙏 ❤️ Janelle Dennis- Skipworth

    Sharon was one of the Sweetest People I have ever met. I ran around with her sisters back many, many years ago. She must have taken after her mother because she never met a stranger nor did her mom. I loved going out to Dillard's and visiting with Sharon when she was at work. I don't know of anything that her kids did without because Tommy and Sharon mad sure they were taken care of. Rest in peace my sweet friend.
