Sharon Joyce Thomas

Brief Reflections: Sharon Joyce Thomas was the 1st of four children born to Andrew & Corene Thomas on October 25, 1944, in Chickasha, OK. She attended Lincoln school from kindergarten to the 8th grade. Afterwards, Sharon graduated from Chickasha high school in 1962. Sharon worked for Aero/3M Company for 50 years. She also worked as a Teacher’s Aide for the Follow Through program. Later in life, Sharon worked for Friend School Grown Parent Program. Sharon had 3 children: Sharita, Timothy, and Kimberly. In June of 2012, Sharon was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. She elected to participate in a trial study, at Stephenson Cancer Center at Oklahoma University Medical Center, for medications to treat ovarian cancer. She heled to create “ground-breaking” a treatment that received F.D.A. approval. The terminology of the medicine is called “Elahere”. It is now provided in pill form. This pill was created for people whose cancer no longer responds to platinum-based chemotherapy. Although successful, other health issues caused her to leave the cancer study and stop all treatments. Sharon fought ovarian cancer for 12 years. Yet, regardless of her circumstances, she stayed positive, and never allowed herself to become discouraged. She fought a good fight. Ran a good race. Finished her course. Now laid for her is a Crown of righteousness. She was preceded in death by both parents, Andrew & Corene Thomas; one brother, Archie Thomas, Sr. and one sister, Linda Darlene Thomas. Survivors left to cherish her beautiful memories are three children: Sharita D. Brown of Chickasha, OK; Kimberly (Calvin) Smith of Moore, OK; Timothy (Michelle) Thomas of Oklahoma City, OK. One sister: Doris Ross of Atlanta, GA. Four grandchildren: Rodrick Julius Brown (Jackie) of Oklahoma City; Ricci Houser (Houser) of Chickasha, OK; Channing Janae Brown of Chickasha, OK; Reagan Evans (Tay) of McKinney, TX. Eight great-grandchildren: Jaedyn, Casen, Rhett, Olivia, Maddox & Mela, Edyn May, and Ezekiel. Cousins: Bruce Rayes (Renee), Toney Rayes (Billie), Etta Fisher (Charles, Sr.) A special friend, Ronnie Watson.
