Sharon Suzanne Wylie

On January 6, 2026 Sharon Suzanne Wylie, our beloved mother, Gran, and GG, went to be with the Lord and her husband, Jerry she was 86. She was a member of the First Woodway Baptist Church. She was born in Lubbock Texas, on March 2,1939. She graduated from Lubbock Monterey High school in 1957. She had three siblings, Jacquenet, Ernie, and Wayne. They were a force to be reckoned with and shared many fun times through the years. She married Jerry in Lubbock Texas at Highland Baptist Church on August 24, 1957. They had four children, Tim, Tamara, Tracy and Tuesday, born on their 8th anniversary. They moved to Idalou to raise their children in the Idalou school district.

Sharon was a full-time homemaker in every sense of the word. She held down various jobs while raising her kids while Jerry traveled for work. She was very involved in her kids’ activities and never missed a single event being their number one supporter. She was very involved in her community and her church. She was the best hostess and her home was always filled with neighbors and friends’ kids. She was an avid sports fan supporting Texas Tech in former years and later became a Baylor Bear after moving to Waco in 2010 to be closer to family. She spent her life exercising and loved walking, jazzercise and Zumba with her Curve’s friends. She loved scrapbooking and made them for all of her kids and grandkids and every special occasion. Later she would become a grandmother and a great grandmother and what an impact she made. She was not only a grandmother but a friend and a tremendous blessing.

Sharon lit up every room she walked into with her beautiful smile, her contagious laughter her way of making those she just met feel like they’ve known her forever, and her uncanny ability to connect with people. She is probably best-known for her quick wit, sense of humor, and her famous one liners. If you were with her, you were assured a good time. She was the life of the party! She was also a dear friend to so many and she cherished those friendships and held them sacred. She was very strong in her faith even through her courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. She never lost her spark or her humor up until the end. She loved so fiercely saying “I Love you more” up until her last day with us.

She is survived by two sons, Tim and Tracy Wylie, two daughters, Tamara Mokry and husband Scott, Tuesday Embry and husband John, one sister Jacquenet Boyd and husband Robert. Grandchildren and great grandchildren Jade and Jon Miller and Scarlett Miller, Sterling Wylie, Alexis Berry and Saylor Hardy, Braden and Janet Embry, Gunnar, Hadley, and Presley Embry.
