Shirley Voth Sharp, 77, a resident of Enon, passed peacefully from this life at her daughter’s home on Friday, April 22, 2016.

Shirley was a beloved mother and grandmother whose greatest joy was her family. Known for her kindness, sweet disposition and strength as she faced life’s trials, she also had an endearing sense of humor that was cherished by those who knew her.

Her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was strong and unwavering and the anchor that held her during her struggle with blindness and cancer. She was a longtime member of Enon Baptist Church and had retired in 1995 from the Office of Community Service as a case worker assistant.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, James L. Sharp; parents, Lee Voth and Tessie King Voth; a sister, Debbie McCain; and an infant brother, Johnny Lynn Voth.
