Sharon McLaughlin Obituary
Glenda Sharon Mclaughlin, 73, of Fort Smith entered into rest Jan. 13, 2019, in Fort Smith. She was born in Springfield, Mo., to Dan Holcomb and Doris (Highsmith) Holcomb. She was a loving mother of two children, Danny and Heather Mclaughlin. She loved her animals and she had a heart as big as gold; she couldn't turn a blind eye to any animal. She was a florist for over 20 years at Floral Boutique, where she became like sisters with Karen Hoffman and Sandy Linimon. She loved to play puzzles and everyone knew not to call her during Jeopardy or NCIS. She was also a strong business woman.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Mclaughlin; son, Danny Mclaughlin; and mother, Doris Holcomb.
She was survived by her daughter, Heather Kathleen Mclaughlin of Fort Smith.
She had so many friends she considered and treated like family, way too many to list, but she was very thankful for each one.
Memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan., 19, 2019, at Lewis-Roberts Funeral Chapel in Fort Smith.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to HOPE Humane Society, 3800 Kelly Highway, Fort Smith, AR 72904.
