Our loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, and Friend, Sharon Jean Williams O’Brien, passed away March 26, 2020 in Provo, Utah, surrounded by her choicest blessings, her five children.  Sharon was born May 4, 1935 in Spanish Fork, Utah to Ernest Jones and Genevieve Bowen Williams.  She attended school in Spanish Fork and following her graduation from Spanish Fork High School, Sharon attended beauty college.

She married Dean Roberts on June 19, 1953, and they were later divorced.  She then met and married James Paul O’Brien on February 20, 1964.  She was a devoted wife and mother and had a flare for decorating and creating a lovely home for her family.  Her house was a show piece and she always kept it neat and tidy.

Sharon worked as a dental assistant, as a travel agent, and finished her career at Mountain Bell.  She especially loved to travel and enjoyed cruises.  She was a member of The Daughters of Utah Pioneers.  She belonged to a special friend’s “club” who met every month for 67 years.  Their last get together was December, 2019.

Her family brought her great joy and they were her greatest treasure.  She always supported her grandkids in all their activities.  They looked forward to her being there and for the $1.00 reward she provided, even if they lost.  She was the best Grandma and Great Grandma and she loved spending time with them. She was a classy lady in every way.

Sharon is survived by five children, Cindy (Ron) Mortensen, Laurie (Jim) Blackett, Ed (Stacey) Roberts, Jone (Mark) Dixon, and Jim O’Brien; daughter-in-law, Debbie O’Brien; brother-in-law, Larry Rowland; and Shari Snelgrove.  She also leaves behind many grandchildren and great grandchildren who love and adore her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husbands; two sisters, Lana Rowland and Kay Williams; a brother, Jones Williams; and three stepsons, Robert O’Brien, Rick O’Brien, and Michael O’Brien.

Graveside services for immediate family members will be held Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at the Spanish Fork City Cemetery, 420 South 400 East, Spanish Fork, Utah.    The family will host a Celebration of Life at a later date.
