Obituary
Sharon Marie Marshall was born to Marshall and Alma Marie Wilkerson on January 23, 1950 in Memphis, Tennessee. At the very young age of 8 years old, Sharon´s mother passed away at the age of 29. She and her siblings were left in the care of various family members. At the age of 16, Sharon left Memphis to follow family to Lansing Michigan where she met John Lindsey. They both would later graduate from J.W. Sexton High School in 1967. Sharon wanted to go to college after graduation to become a schoolteacher, but lack of finances prevented her from doing that. John and Sharon were married in October, 1969, and together had three amazing children. In October of 1996 at the age of 46, Sharon became a widow shortly after 27 years of marriage. In approximately 2002, Sharon moved to the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, retired from General Motors Corporation after 30 years, and eventually built a big, beautiful home.. For the next 18 years, Sharon fostered the lives of children, who, like herself as a child, suddenly found their world shattered.
Sharon leaves behind her three children, Charnell Lindsey (Hugh Gibbs), Tammy Lindsey (Fred Dean), and John Lindsey; six grandchildren: Raquel Gibbs (Jovon Young), Jarohn Gibbs, Kayla Gibbs, Kasia Jordan, Raenah Lindsey, Destiny Dean, and two great-grandchildren: Kimora Williams and Naira Young.
