A Life Lived in Love

Sharon Motley entered into the arms of Jesus on March 1, 2015 after living a full life with family and friends. Sharon was born on December 28, 1955. The sixth of nine children born to Clara Sorrells. She joined many loved ones who had gone before her. Her mom, Clara Sorrells; stepfather, George Sorrells; father, John Bruce; daughter, Carla; brother, Phillip and dad; grandparents, uncles, and others in the family. Sharon has a family in Glory that loves God and awaited her arrival with open arms.  Sharon was someone who enjoyed life. She lived with laughter and peace. She desired to help others in whatever way she could. Even though her times were filled with challenges, she overcame them and wanted others to know that a change is possible. Job 14:14 comes to mind as we take a loving look at Sharon’s life, "All the days of my appointed times I will wait until my change comes."  Sharon graduated from Huntington High School and attended training school for nursing.  She accepted Christ as Lord and Savior at an early age and was a member of Full Gospel Assembly. She knew the same God of her Grandparents, Mom, and many of us her family. She would sing loud. She would dance. She enjoyed praising God.  She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughters, Kelly Motley, Tashawna Motley, and Gracy Ezibe; her grand kids, Kiomi, Kimani, Dwight, Sha'keila, Ni'keya, Steven, Delmarie, Trey'nea, Meana, Jeremiah, Jaiyrehn, Jerrzhey, Cherelia, Manara, Kristopher, Alexander, Cantasia, Charles, and six great-grandchildren. She will be remembered by her sisters, Claudia of Huntington WV, Lenora and Greta, both of Columbus OH; her brothers, Mitchell of Detroit MI, Ronald of Columbus OH, Henry (Telese) of Detroit MI, and Jerome (Vickie) of Columbus OH; a special cousin, Cynthia Johnson Clemens, and special friend, Thelma Jackson Davis. There are a host of relatives and friends who will never forget her smile, love and spirit.
