OBITUARIES

In Loving Memory of Nicole Sharples

It is with heavy hearts that we celebrate the life of Nicole Sharples, a woman whose laughter could light up any room. Nicole gained her heavenly wings surrounded by the love of her family.

She was a loving daughter of Joyce Johnson, the devoted wife of Kwame Sharples, caring sister of Corrine Johnson, the proud mother of four (Sanjeeve, DeAndre, Renee, and Jeremiah), and the adoring grandmother of Israel and Milani, who were her absolute pride and joy.

Nicole was the heart and soul of her family, the matriarch who made sure everyone was fed, loved, and occasionally reminded who was in charge. She dedicated her life to her family, and no matter what, she was always there when you needed her, ready with advice, comfort, or a good laugh at just the right time.

Nicole served her community as a nurse for over 25 years, where she was known for her hard work, quick wit, and ability to brighten even the toughest days.

Outside of work, Nicole had a flair for the finer things. She loved shopping, getting her nails done, and arriving at family gatherings looking fabulous. Her favorite pastime, though, was singing and dancing with her grandchildren, filling the room with joy and laughter.

Nicole’s legacy of love, humor, and strength will live on through her children and grandchildren, who will carry her memory in their hearts forever. Her laughter, her sass, and her endless love will never be forgotten.

She may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
