Sharon L. King

Sharon Lee King, age 79, of Charlotte passed away March 24, 2020, surrounded by family. She was born January 20, 1941 in Charlotte , daughter of Eldeen and Norma (Bodell) Jones. She graduated from Charlotte High School in 1959. Shortly after high school, she met and married her husband of 52 years, Jack King.
After working as a bank teller at Eaton Federal for some time, she happily moved on to her true calling – mother. After the children were grown, she returned to work as a tax preparer, most recently at H&R Block. She was also a lifetime farmer. Sharon loved being a mom, often serving as chaperone for school field trips. She attended every school sporting event her children participated in through the years. She also enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, who could always bring out her beautiful smile. She loved fishing and hunting – and even bagged an elk. After Jack retired, they started an antique business together and would often spend their time at auction sales. They also wintered in Ruskin, Fla., where she loved fishing and hunting for treasures at garage sales.
She is survived by her three children: Darrin (Amee) King of Grand Ledge, Beth (Eric) Pulver of Dimondale, and Jeff (Heather) King of Livonia; five grandchildren: Kyle King, Evan King, Danny Small, Rachel (Small) Reed and Addie King, and five great-grandchildren; as well as a sister, Beverly Wells of California. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and her brother Darwyn Jones.
