Sharon Faye Wiley Barnhill

Sharon Faye Wiley Barnhill, age 68 of the Burwood Community, passed away October 14, 2025. She was born in Nashville, TN to the late William & Lela Wiley. Sharon was a longtime member of Thompson Station Church. She enjoyed her time at the church, and enjoyed serving with the children’s Sunday school for several years. Sharon worked in the orthodontic industry for over 25 years. She was affectionately known by her grandchildren and others as “Mazie”. Sharon enjoyed cooking, and she was a master in the kitchen. She made countless meals for her family, friends and neighbors. Her fried chicken was her grandkids favorite, as well as her weekend homecooked breakfast with all the fixins. Sharon had a love for animals, and throughout her life had many dogs, cats, chickens and even a goose. Her house was always in order, leaving no dust behind. She will be remembered for her strength, her Christian heart and for always reminding the girls before they went anywhere, to “put your lipstick on”.
