Mildred P. Sharman's Obituary
Graveside Services for Mildred P. Sharman, 100, of Montgomery, Alabama will be Thursday, April 19, 2018 at 3:30 PM at the Camp Hill Cemetery. Randy Anderson will officiate.
Mrs. Sharman passed away on Monday, April 9, 2018 at Jackson Hospital. Mrs. Sharman was born November 30, 1917, in Heflin, Alabama to W.T. Pruitt and Myrtle Owens Pruitt. She was reared as a Primitive Baptist Church member who enjoyed Sacred Harp music; and a highly regarded member of the Cleburne County High School Class of 1936.
Mrs. Sharman worked in a Heflin beauty salon for 10 years, and then owned and operated her own salon for 10 years. She was passionate about her profession as a hair stylist. She married traveling salesman Earnest “Mac” Michael Sharman in 1953 and moved to the west side of Montgomery, Alabama, around 1956.
Mrs. Sharman was employed with the Revenue Department in Montgomery for 19 years before entering early retirement. She tenderly served as her mother’s caretaker until her mother died in the 1970’s at 104 years of age. Mrs. Sharman also lovingly served as her late husband’s caretaker; and although she never had any children of her own, she showed great affection for her young family members and neighborhood children.
Her pastimes included working in her flower beds and cooking. She continued to do her own bookkeeping and paid her bills monthly; and was an enthusiastic fan of comedian Steve Harvey and the Crimson Tide Football Team.
She is survived by her nephew, Randy Sharman; nieces, Brenda J. Sharman, and Sandra Knipling; sister in law, Jo Sharman; and other relatives.
She also was preceded in death by her brother, Russell O. Pruitt.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Sharman’s caretakers: Kim Hughes, Sandra Donaldson, and Sheryl Young for going above and beyond.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Camp Hill Cemetery, PO Box 217, Camp Hill, AL 36850.
