Ricki-Lee "Rae" Sharp

Ricki-Lee Rae Sharp – age 31, of Cleveland, TN, passed away Tuesday, May 20, 2025 with her family by her side. Rick-Lee, more commonly known as "Rae" was born and raised in Vincentown, NJ until the age of 18 when she moved with her family to East TN. At the time of her passing she was a resident of Life Bridges in Cleveland, TN where she received the highest quality of care and will be greatly missed by the staff who worked so very diligently to provide love and care during some of the most difficult times.
Rae was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend. She was a pillar of strength, bravery, and courage throughout her various medical challenges over the years. She loved country music, Hell's Kitchen, and true crime shows. She looked forward to a good cup of Wawa coffee, Sawmill pizza and boardwalk cheese fries from her favorite places in Seaside Heights, NJ. She loved shopping, spending time with family, reminiscing of childhood memories with her loved ones that have passed on before her. Most of all she idolized President Barack Obama and loved to share her experience of meeting him in the Oval Office in 2013. The Make a Wish Foundation made that dream become possible.
Rae was preceded in death by her grandparents, John Sharp and Olive Sharp of Southampton, NJ, and Barbara Johnson of Pemberton, NJ; aunt, Patty Conover of Southampton, NJ; and uncles, Clarence Sharp of Southampton, NJ, and John Sharp of FL.
Rae is survived by her parents, Richard W. Sharp, and Jennifer Lynne Sharp; her twin sister, Jessica Lynne Sharp; her older sister, Amanda Quach; brother-in-law, Brian Quach; nephew, Jayson; niece, Delilah, all of East, TN. Her aunt, Cindy Glenn and uncle, Jimmy Glenn, both of Southampton, NJ; aunt, Judy Chambers of Granberry, TX; aunt, May Sharp of Sevierville, TN; cousins, Kellie Bowker, Steven Bowker, and Carly Bowker of Southampton, NJ; and many other cousins and extended family and friends in New Jersey and in East Tennessee.
The family will receive friends at Bridges Funeral Home on Saturday, May 31, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. A Celebration of Life will follow at 2:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Ricki-Lee's honor to Life Bridges assisted living Cleveland TN, or Make a Wish Foundation of East TN.
