Sharron Kay Hammond Burke Bohlken Obituary (1949

Sharron Kay Hammond Burke Bohlken, age 74, of Mobile, Alabama, formerly of Jefferson County, Indiana passed away after a two day acute illness. Sharron was born on November 26, 1949 to Frances Hammond Hall and Gerald Hammond in Madison, Indiana. After graduation from Madison Consoldiated High School in 1968, she had various jobs in Madison, but ultimately found her niche in banking when she moved to Indianapolis. Sharron worked diligently there for 20 years before moving to Mobile, Alabama in 1991, where she continued a career mostly in banking. In 2004, she retired to take care of her ailing mother. Sharron was a Christian who believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She was baptized at North Madison Baptist Church when she was 14. In recent years, she loved her Sunday School class and was fond of watching various preachers on YouTube. Sharon had a unique artistic talent and created arrangements, wreaths, and table settings fit for royalty. Her interior decorator skills should have been published on magazine covers. Sharron dressed with panache and style. She could take Goodwill treasures, accessorize it, and look like she shopped at Sak's. Her Sunday School aptly described her as a "classy lady". Sharron loved traveling to visit family and going on Caribbean cruises with her late husband, David Bohlken. The joy radiating from Sharron when retelling stories of her great nieces and great nephews was a beautiful sight to behold.
