A celebration of life service for Sharla Kay Malone, 49, of Ninnekah, will be held at 5:30 p.m., on Tuesday, September 23, 2014, at Mitchell’s Monuments located at 4200 S 4th St, Chickasha, Oklahoma.
Sharla was born a twin on January 20, 1965, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Edgar & Joyce (McKinney) Wright.
She attended elementary school in Chickasha, later moving to Ninnekah where she graduated in 1983.
Sharla married her true love, Billy Dale Malone on May 16, 1986, in Chickasha, Oklahoma. From that day forward she made it her purpose in life to take care of Bill and she loved every minute of it. When Bill got sick in 2005, Sharla quit work and devoted her life to taking care of him; never leaving his side until he died on May 6, 2006. When Bill died a part of Sharla died with him. She never fully recovered from losing him.
Sharla worked as a waitress for many of the local resturants, she also worked at Delta Faucet and her all time favorite job was at Bargin World, the TV auction, where she dragged home many “treasures” as she called them.
Sharla’s two sons, Edgar & Aaron were her pride & joy’s. When Edgar rode motorcross, she never missed a race and was his biggest fan; you always knew she was there because you could hear her yelling over all the other moms and the roar of the bikes.
She loved computers, collecting movies, photography and editing pictures; but her greatest enjoyment was the time she spent with her boys, grandkids and family.
When Sharla got sick in 2007, she became a homebody, but she always looked forward to going to garage sales with her mom and twin sister, Karla on the weekends.
Sharla was very outspoken and you never knew what may come out of her mouth, but she had a heart of gold and would help anybody. Her boys loved her unconditionally and they wanted her to know that although they had their own families and were often busy, they still loved her dearly.
She will be missed terribly and her absence will leave a huge void in her families lives, especially her twin sister Karla.
Sharla was preceded in death by her husband of 20 years, Billy Dale Malone; granddaughter, Londyn Green; father-in-law, Tom Rogers; and her grandparents: LB Wright, Grace Hash and Vida Alcorn.
She leaves behind a family that loves her including her parents, Ed & Joyce Wright; two sons: Edgar (Aricka) Green and Aaron Shaw; three sisters: Sharon (Scott) Mitchell, Karla (Ron) McAdoo, & Lynda (Mike) Pollock; one brother, Buddy Wright; mother-in-law, Kathy Rogers; sister-in-law, Julie (Chris) Danforth; five grandkids: Jordyn, Brooklyn, Kyndal & Kasyn Green and Autumn Shaw; numerous aunts, uncles and extended family.
Private burial will be held in the Ninnekah Cemetery under the direction of Ferguson Funeral Home.
