Her greatest joys also included her grandsons, Conner and Olen Rae Ness, whom she loved beyond measure. Sharon enjoyed riding her golf cart and working in her yard. She attended Center Hill Baptist Church in Counce, Tennessee.

She is survived by her son, Terry Ness and his wife Allison of Ramer, Tennessee; Keith Black, whom she thought of and loved as a son, of Adamsville, Tennnessee; grandchildren; Conner Ness and Olen Rae Ness; brother, Coolidge (Pete) McCain and his wife Lois of Florence, Alabama; and sisters, Juywonia Kennedy of Pensacola, Florida and Regenia Robertson and her husband Perry of Woodlawn, Tennessee.
