Sharon Susan Schultz was born Wesley Ann Haywood in Adrian, Michigan to Wesley Joseph and Marjorie Marie (Peans) Haywood on August 31, 1943. She passed away Monday, November 24, 2025 in Brooklyn, Ohio, surrounded by all the family that could be present. She was 82 years old. 

She graduated from Adrian High School, in Adrian Michigan in 1961, a year behind her soon-to-be husband, Lawrence Henry Schultz. They were married the summer after graduation, on June 3, 1962. Rarely employed, Sharon spent much of her life in pursuing personal interests: graphic arts, reading, knitting, and pottery. There was a time in the 1980s that she operated and co-owned a successful yarn and knitting store in Coral Springs, Florida called Rags, where she worked alongside her daughter Suzzanne. She moved many times, relocating to Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Texas, and briefly California. The last three decades were a return to Ohio again moving from place to place: Bowling Green, Marion, Toledo, Stow, Seven Hills, Parma, and finally Brooklyn. 

She is preceded in death by both parents, sister Julie, and the father of her children, Lawrence Henry Schultz. She is survived by her three children: Mark Schultz and his wife Carol, Kristina Stansberry and her husband Richard, and Suzzanne Peppers. Her five grandchildren are Keith A. Peppers and wife Mary, Nicole Castle and husband Shawn, James Stansberry and wife Jennifer, Curtis Peppers, and Joseph Stansberry and wife Murphy. She has eight great-grandchildren: Tito, Dominic, Elijah, Felix, Violet, Oscar, Casey, and Cameron. She passed so many of her passions, so much of her intelligence, and a great deal of her sass on to those who called her mom, grandma, and simply GG.

She was loved by many that had the honor to call her Grandma.
