If you ever saw Sharon, it was with a smile on her face. She loved traveling with her sister, eating out and visiting with her family and friends. Sharon always liked sharing the latest in local news and events. If there was ever a lull in the conversation, she would add, “That’s something ain’t it?”
She was a long-time and faithful member of First Southern Baptist Church in Bearden where she sang in the choir and served meals to home-bound Bearden residents. Sharon was an avid Facebook user with multiple accounts and reached out to people with kind words of encouragement.
Since she didn’t cook, Sharon loved eating the daily specials at the Bear Den Diner and a pork sandwich with a fried apple pie at the Tracks BBQ restaurant, both in Bearden. She put thousands of miles on her car shopping and driving to various area restaurants in Camden, Fordyce and elsewhere.
Sharon was the oldest daughter of Jack and Annie Mosley Garlington of Bearden. She is survived by her sister, Kay Ethridge of Temple, Texas and her niece, Amelia Zique of Austin, Texas.
She will be sorely missed by her friends, her Aunt Willie Faye McKissack and her many Garlington and Mosley cousins.
She will be buried beside her mama in Moss Hill Cemetery in Bearden. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to First Southern Baptist Church 435 N. Cedar, Bearden, AR 71720. Arrangements by Benton Funeral Home in Fordyce.
