Sharon was born in Washington County on April 16, 1962, the second child of Donald Mitchell, Sr. and Alva Rose Hardison Brown.

Sharon was a quiet and thoughtful child who was gifted with the ability to draw, paint, and create.  These talents carried into her adult life as she decorated cakes for events, painted beautiful portraits, and created gifts that will forever be cherished by those who loved her.

Sharon adored her family, most especially her girls and her grandchildren.  She had a deep and abiding love for the Lord, being baptized and raised at First Christian Church in Plymouth.  Later, she joined Holly Neck Church of Christ in Roper, where she found her church home.  Sharon battled many health issues in her adult life, but her faith in God and trust in Him never faltered.  He was her strength.

Alexander and husband James of Stokes; five grandchildren:  Nathan Hopkins, Jaylyn Alexander, Jamie Alexander, Silas Alexander, and Jacob Swain; her brother, Don Brown of Charlotte; her sister, Amy B.
