Sharon Cannon

Sharon Fay Lee Cannon was born on July 30, 1959, born to Herman and Alice Lee, in Los Angeles, California. Both parents preceded her in death.

In 1977, Sharon graduated from George Washington High School in Los Angeles, California and continued her education at San Jose State University where she earned a Bachelor degree in Business Management in 1981.

She started her career at Union Carbide Corporation in marketing/sales and went on to continue her career in sales at Bayer/ Winthrop Corporation. Sharon flourished in her sales career achieving numerous high achievement awards. She had a God given talent in public speaking and excelled in her approach of presenting the company's products.

In 1985, Sharon married her high school sweetheart Damon Daryll Lynn Cannon (who preceded her in death). They were married for 33 years. From this blessed union came two sons, Devin Cole (29) and Cameron Lee (24).

As a mother, Sharon entered a new chapter of her life with boundless love. Staying at home and raising both of her sons gave her heartwarming joy. Sharon was an exemplary mother to her sons. She was loving, nurturing, caring, and raised them to be strong and resilient men. She also enjoyed volunteering at their schools and community services.

A woman of deep faith, Sharon lived her life grounded in the love of the Lord. She was a praying woman, attended several women's bible study groups, and was proud to speak about God to others. Sharon deeply loved people, touching many lives by offering guidance, wisdom, and encouragement. Sharon's favorite pastimes were spending time with family and friends, traveling, shopping, and cooking. She was a fantastic cook! Some of her many mouthwatering dishes were prime rib, greens, and red velvet cake. Most would attest that her red velvet cake was unmistakably "The Best they've ever had," and will forever be her signature creation.

Sharon will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished friend. She was unwavering in her dedication to her sons. Sharon and Damon's number one priority for their sons was to instill God-given values necessary for a prosperous and meaningful life. Watching them achieve academic excellence in their fields of study and attending their athletic events were the highlights of her life.

Sharon Fay Lee Cannon is survived by her sons, Devin and Cameron, Paula (sister), Mark (brother), along with nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Her legacy will carry on with Devin and Cameron, "Mom, you will be forever cherished in our hearts."
