Sharon B. Golladay's Obituary
Sharon B. Golladay passed away in her home on July 15. 2013 at the age of 71. She was born on September 25, 1941 in Missoula, Montana to Philomine (Daniels) and Stanley Golladay. As a young child she moved with her parents to St. Helens, where she lived all her life. She spent her adult years working in “Freddy’s strawberry fields” and the cannery, followed by nearly 30 years in a local wholesale nursery. During this time she also cared for her cousin, Robert Nolan, who preceded her in death, as did her parents and two brothers, numerous aunts and uncles. Her interests included her cats, her property and riding to and from her neighbors on her Husqvarna riding lawnmower, lovingly dubbed “Sharon’s quad”.
She is survived by her beloved companions Lady & Rose (her cats), her sister Betty McGee (PO Box 273, Edgefield, SC 29824), cousins Alan Renard (Warren), Kathy Dalton (Portland), Colleen Olson-Klug (Arch Cape, OR), and Mike Laird (St. Helens). She is also survived by numerous other nieces, nephews, and cousins. She is also survived by all her loving friends in Happy Hollow.
