Sorry for your loss. I remember her as a kind teacher who expected the very best from her students. She made a difference in her field as an educator. I was lucky enough to have had her as a teacher at Pleasant Middle School.

Mrs. Sharp was my 5th grade teacher at Pleasant Junior High School. She pushed me as a student to do my very best. She was one of the reasons why I became an educator today. Thank you Mrs. Sharp. Rest in peace.
