She grew up in Meigs, Georgia, graduated from Ravenwood Academy, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Georgia College and State University. Sharon had lived in South Houston County for the past 35 years. Through the years, she worked as a bookkeeper at Frito-Lay in Bonaire, Tolleson Lumber Company and Sports Center, both in Perry. She was a long-time member of First Baptist Church of Haynesville and the AAA Sunday School Class. Sharon enjoyed gardening and spending time with family and friends until her health began to decline, about 5 years ago. While she was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s then, Sharon was a brave soul and found simple joys and happiness in her daily life. She was preceded in death by her parents and her loving and devoted husband, Clifton Royce Driver. Left to cherish the memories of Sharon are her children, Amanda Coody (Jessie Moore) of Elko, and Alex Driver of Newnan; her grandchildren, Abbie, Ava, and Aubrey Coody; and her brother, Vance Luke (Donna) of Tallahassee, FL.
