Sharon Maner Hooks

In Blessed MemorySharon Maner HooksJune 25, 1948 - September 28, 2025
Sharon was born and raised in Washington, D.C., where she grew up surrounded by the close-knit community of Foggy Bottom. She cherished her neighborhood and friendships with those she grew up alongside. She attended Stevens Elementary School and Francis Junior High School, later dedicating her life as a homemaker. Her greatest joy came from caring for her three children—Darrell, Nathaniel (both preceded her in death), and Andre.

Sharon’s memory will live on through her husband, Andre “Charlie” Hooks; her son, Andre Hooks, Jr.; her granddaughter, Aniya Banks; her sister, Cathelia, and brother-in-law, Arthur. She is also reunited in eternal rest with her brother, Ronald.

In her later years, Sharon faced illness with strength and grace. Through the compassionate care of Gift of Peace, a remarkable missionary, she found comfort and connection in the teachings of the Catholic Church. Surrounded by the sisters, volunteers, and fellow residents, Sharon experienced peace, solace, and the abiding presence of God. Visitors who came to see her were deeply moved by the serenity and comfort she carried in those moments.

Sharon was deeply loved by her family and all who knew her. Her kindness, warmth, and enduring spirit touched many lives - she will be  missed.

A Visitation will be held Friday, October 3, 2025, at 8:30 am, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:00 am at Missionaries of Charity Gift of Peace Convent, 2800 Otis Street Northeast, Washington, DC 20018. Interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery, 8000 Woodyard Rd, Clinton, MD 20735.
