Paula Sharp Obituary
On August 3rd, 2014 Paula Sue (Nelson) Sharp passed away; daughter of Brent Nelson and Harriet Prescott.
Paula was born on March 31st 1967. The world lost a beautiful mother, daughter, sister, grand-daughter, great grand-daughter, niece, and friend. She touched so many with her smile and contagious giggle and laugh, thoughtful actions, and the way she would go out of her way to help anyone, even complete strangers, that were in need. Paula always found peace and happiness in the mountains. Her greatest love in life was her four children who will greatly miss her. Paula was a friend to all, especially her best friend and adopted sister Debbie Gee, she will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her four children Twyla, Breanne, Laremy, and Coulton; her mother Harriet (Steven) Prescott, her father Brent Nelson, her siblings James (Carma), Jeff (Erica), Robert (Shilo), grandmother Barbara Hartlerode.
A Celebration of Life will be held Thursday August 7th, 2014 at Twyla's House at 114 East Forbush Avenue Midvale, UT 84047. Friends and Family are invited to attend from 6-9pm. Please wear something joyful and join the family as we celebrate the beautiful person that we all loved.
There is a donation fund set up at Zions Bank under Paula Sharp - anything will be greatly appreciated.

Twy,Breezer,Colt & Larr, We all had some great memories of your Mom, she had the biggest heart, as you know & would do anything for anyone even perfect strangers but then they'd become her friends too. I loved how she'd buy herself flowers, her smile & that giggle but most of all the love she had for you guys. I wish I had 1 more day to tell her how much I loved & appreciated her & 1 more day to go out, dance & get in trouble again I just hope she knew how amazing she was. Your all in our prayer's & we are always here for you guys. Love you, Cooper, Jill, Dakota & Bridger

Twyla, Breanne, Laremy, and Coulton, I am so very sorry for your loss. Though your mom and I were not as close as we used to be in these recent years, I will miss her greatly. I will forever remember the good times I shared with her. She was always so caring, happy and concerned for others more than herself. She would do anything for anyone. She loved you all more than anything. My heart aches for you all. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
