Sharon K. Holder, 78, of Cleveland, TN, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, December 11, 2025.

Sharon was born to Roy and Garnet Holder on December 25, 1946, In Aurora, IL. She was a wonderful Christmas gift for her parents and three siblings. Sharon was the youngest of the four children.

Sharon was a licensed cosmetologist and a talented hair stylist. Sharon loved dogs. She had many four-legged fur babies throughout her life. She loved and cared deeply for each one. Sharon worked for many years at Helping Hands of Cleveland & Athens, doing office work and caregiving for clients. She served as a probation officer and volunteered helping others. She loved traveling and visiting with family.

For almost 50 years, Sharon has been a loyal and faithful member of North Cleveland Church of God. She had a servant heart, serving in various areas helping others. Sharon volunteered in evangelism, jail ministry and singing with the Harmony Ladies Choir. The highlight of her week was being with friends in the Berean Sunday School class.
