Sharon Ann Jones
December 24, 1954-Â February 19, 2021
Sharon Ann (Farrell) Jones, 66, of Harwood, MD passed away February 19, 2021 in Washington, D.C. Sharon was born December 24, 1954 to Loretta May (Tanner) and Raymond T. Farrell. She was raised in Cheverly, MD, and later moved with her family to what is known today as Melwood Mobile Home Park where she lived most of her childhood and spend a lot of her days with her childhood friend Deborah Sullivan. She married Richard Meador at age 19 and they lived and raised their family in North Beach and later in Owings, MD. She was employed at the Kmart in Clinton from the day it opened, and was a cashier and department, personnel, and office manager for fifteen years. While working at Kmart she made many wonderful friends including Sharon Titus and Tina Lowe, and thanks to Tina she met the love of her life William Jones, whom she married in 1984. Sharon loved spending time with her family, and enjoyed trips to the beach every summer with family and friends. She enjoyed holiday cookouts, and Halloween parties, and you could always find Sharon listening to Motown and old country music. She enjoyed online Bingo and Canasta with her good friend Faye. She also loved collecting angels and unicorns.
Sharon was known as a person who would do anything to help anyone, and would give her last dollar, food, or clothing to anyone in need, values that were passed to her by her mother. She treated others as she would like to be treated and did not judge others, and passed these values on to her family and friends, and anyone she touched.
Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, a sister Elsie Garner and a brother Timothy Garner. She is survived by her husband Billy Jones; children Heather M. Atkins (Greg) of Chesapeake Beach, Tracy L. McClelland (Shannon McClelland) of Millersville, Christine Sephton (Tariq Chaudhry) of Annapolis Junction and Steven E. Jones (Georgianna Keyes) of North East, MD; a son-in law William C. Hester of Harwood; grandchildren Tawny N., Tamera L. and Cassie Atkins; great-grandchildren Terrell and Briell Garrison; a brother Ralph Garner, and a sister Mary Lou Garner.

Sharon was such a sweet & beautiful person inside and out. She would let you into her home with open arms and treat you as if you were her own. I will miss the yummy cookouts at her house & all the times we were able to share. She was loved by so many and will be truly missed by all. 💛

I met Christine’s mother at Miss International. I did not have money for food, as I did not budget very well. Mrs. Jones took me out to eat and insisted I buy anything I wanted. I stayed and ate, while she talked to me. I talked to her about my Parents, and she told me to give it time and that no mother hates their child…just misunderstand them. I listened to her, and surprisingly she was 100 percent right. My Mom and I are best friends now. I am so glad GOD brought her into my life when I needed her. I was hungry, lost, confused and hearting bad. This lady merely loved me because I was human.
Not to mention she makes the best cookout food! She was an angel. I will always remember she gave me the warmest hugs. Christine is like my mother, and has always guided me, and Mrs. Jones is like my grandmother. I appreciate Mrs. Jones because she made Christine the kind hearted person she is today. Heaven got their best Angel YET!

Mom, affectionately called, was an amazing person. I remember sitting next to her while she tabulated scores. She always smiled. Never complained. Mom always checked on me at the pageants to ensure I was ok. Most of the time I would be freakin nervous as heck. I always felt better when I saw her, like a comforting blanket. I have NO relationship with my parents, and she told me that I would always have a Mom. I too will miss her “Larger Than Life” hugs, and her knack for getting me to talk and open up to her. She sent me a happy birthday wishes, and also sent me an electronic gift care. It just said ” Love Mom.” Now I am motherless and I wish I had spent more time with her. Don’t get me wrong endless hours online is nothing but amazing if it is backed by Mom playing Canasta with you. My deepest condolences goes to Christine and her Family. Christine has been a role model for all to see, and it was in large part due to her up bringing and her Mom never letting her settle for not trying. I LOVE YOU MOM! NOW YOU REALLY ARE AN ANGEL!
Your Ebony Child,

I know I went about things the wrong way, but Mrs. Jones never held it against me. I LOVE Christine and hope she is ok, and I will MISS Mrs. Jones. She is a great person who always gave me advice, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. Many times she gave me a hug, even when I didn’t tell her I was upset. It was as if she sensed it. Absolutely a GEM in Gods Crown!
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

So sorry to hear about Sharon’s passing. We had just recently connected as were cousins. Her mom was my dad’s sister. I had wondered what happened when I no longer heard from her. My sympathy and prayers to her family.
