She was united in marriage to James “Jim” Keith Graham, Sr. on December 31, 1979, in River Oaks. Sharon was a dedicated bookkeeper and accountant for Metal Cleaning Systems, but her greatest joy and most cherished role was caring for her family and home. As a devoted wife and homemaker, she poured her heart into creating a loving home filled with warmth, comfort, and treasured memories. Her family was the center of her world, and the love she gave so freely will continue to live on in their hearts. The beautiful life she shared with those she loved will forever be part of the legacy she leaves behind.

Sharon was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend to many who will miss her dearly.
