Susan Sharp

1954 - 2021

SHARP, Susan Heath was an inspiration to those who knew her. She had an amazing drive that led her to become successful in two challenging professions, accounting and law, while never letting her professional life intrude on the more important arenas of her family and faith. Late in the evening on July 4, 2021, Susan's long, heroic and sometimes even cheerful fight with ALS came to an end. She will be greatly missed. Susan leaves behind her mother, Marlay Barbee of Treasure Island; her brother, Steven Raatz of Milwaukee; her daughter, Amy Heath Patenaude and her husband, Jeffery Patenaude, and their children, Heath and Edith (Edie), of Tampa; and her son, William "Wiley" Sharp Jr. and his wife, Laura Marie Jagielski, of Fort Lauderdale. She was preceded in death by her father, Neil Gilbert Raatz of Milwaukee and her daughters, Jennifer Heath Sharp and Allison Elizabeth Sharp both of Tampa. A memorial service will be held on July 9, 2021 at 10 am at St. John's Episcopal Church, Tampa. Additional details may be found at www.blountcurrymacdill.com
