Sharon Marie Lettimore, 71, of Charlotte, a caring woman who always came to the aid of others, died March 27, 2026. Sharon was born September 10, 1954, in
Lansing, Michigan, to Alfred Wayne and Shirley Frances (Burger) Kill. Sharon, the oldest of eight children, carried the responsibilities of that role with grace from an early age. She learned patience, strength, and how to care deeply for others - qualities that became the foundation of her life. These traits shaped the way she loved and supported those around her, always putting others before herself.
Sharon found her lifelong partner in Ed, who became her constant source of love and companionship. Together, they shared 38 wonderful years. Becoming a mother was one of Sharon's greatest joys, and she poured her heart into raising her children with the same steadiness, warmth, and resilience that defined her. She also found joy in life's simple pleasures - singing karaoke, listening to her favorite music by Patsy Cline, riding the motorcycle with Ed, and spending time laughing and making memories with family and friends.
Sharon built a career as a bartender and bar manager, where she earned the affectionate title of "the boss." She will be remembered for her fierce loyalty, her unwavering support for those she loved, and her fearless honesty. Sharon never sought attention for herself, instead focusing her energy on caring for others - including her beloved "fur babies," whom she nurtured throughout their lives and lovingly honored even after they were gone. Her legacy is one of compassion, strength, and devotion. The greatest way to honor Sharon is to continue to love and care for one another as she did - to stand together, show up for each other, share laughter, and hold close the bonds she worked so hard to protect.
Sharon is survived by her husband, Edward; children, Michael (Janine) Collier, Charlene (AJ) McLain, Charity (Wayne) Devenbaugh, and Jessica Wethy; grandchildren, Trey, Austin, Jordon, Trent, Chelsea, Bryce, April, Gatlin, Degan, Ava, Addy, Emma, Alexis, Morgon, and Allie; great-grandchildren, Dallas, Aubrianna, Ellianna, Alethea, Lahna, Brookson, Vinny, Luka, and Stetson; and siblings, Penny (Roy) Therrien, John (Gari) Kill, Jeff (Trudy) Kill, Martin (Connie) Kill, Amy (Pat) Gardner, Steve (Lisa) Kill, and Lisa Meyers. She was predeceased by her grandson Bailey, and her parents.
