Sharon and William T. Burton, her surviving husband, were united in marriage on May 11, 1997, and would have celebrated 27 years of marriage next month.  She is also survived by her brother, Gerald C. Wingo of Anniston, Alabama.   

She was a wonderful and loving mother to her three children; Jonathon, Jerry, and Jill Abernathy, and three step- children, whom she loved as her own; David, Tammy, and Matthew Burton.

 Sharon was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. She faithfully and joyfully worshipped at  New Hope Church in Springville, AL for over 12 years. She leaves her family a legacy of God’s amazing love and grace and was an example of His love to all who knew her.  We look forward to the day that we will be reunited with her in heaven.
