Mary Elizabeth Sharp, 65, passed away peacefully Tuesday, January 19, 2021, after fighting a lengthy battle with Covid Pneumonia, in Corsicana Texas. Burial will be at Dresden Cemetery.
She was born on September 10, 1955, in Dallas, Texas, to Will V. Sr. and Mary Ruth Sharp. Mary graduated from Ferris High School and later resided in Red Oak during her child-bearing years. She lived on Carroll Lane and often referred to her neighborhood wives, who were very close friends, as “The Gang”.
Once her kids began school, she relocated to Italy, Texas, and opened a cafe where she made many delicious dishes but was known far and wide for her pies. She told many, entertaining stories of running the cafe where she was an amazing cook. Her kids would even come by before heading to school in the morning to help her prep for the day. Fridays were always a highlight for the football players when they had the pleasure of being served Momma Mary’s home-cooked meals before Friday night light’s festivities. After later closing the cafe, Mary enjoyed sewing when she found time and went back to school to finish her degree in bookkeeping/clerical work.
Mary spent the last 20+ years as the office manager, working alongside her middle son, Josh, at JK Excavation. She was the office bookkeeper but most importantly, the counselor and momma to many. Every single person that called and/or walked into the office always asked to speak with “Momma Mary”. As busy as she was, she always made time to make each person feel important and valued. She treated her co-workers as family and the feeling was certainly mutual.
When Mary wasn’t working she could be found at one of the grandkids sporting events, award ceremonies, or cow shows. She was easy to spot because she was always the one in the front row- cheering the loudest and blowing her air horn. Gigi didn’t just cheer for her grandkids but for the whole team and their friends that became family to her as well. No grandkids or friends of her grandkids got away without a hug and “GiGi loves you!” She was always the first to call her grandbabies on their birthday to wish them a happy birthday. As much as she loved her kids, her grandkids were her everything!!!!
She was preceded in death by her father, Will V. Sharp Sr.; brother, Will V. Sharp Jr; and granddaughter, McKenzie Trees.
Mary is survived by her sons, Richard Lancing Trees Jr, and Josh Trees and his wife, Karen; daughter, Brittani Bryant and her husband, Chase; grandchildren: Blake Trees and his wife, Brianna, Bryan Corley, Brooklyn Corley, Ricky Castillio, Jaydin Bryant, Zachery Bryant, David Bryant, Rushton Trees, and Elizabeth Trees; her mother, Mary Ruth Sharp; brothers, Clint Sharp and his wife, Robertta, and Tony Sharp and his wife, Tonya; other relatives and many friends.
