Sharon Stapley Moore, 88, passed away January 24, 2023 in Panguitch. She was born October 28, 1934 in Joseph, to Sim Adams and Necha Estella Jackman Stapley.

Sharon’s most prized possession was her family and grandchildren. Sharon grew up on a farm in Joseph UT. She drove dump trucks for her dad and gave up her dream opportunity to play professional softball to help provide for her family during hard times. She later went to cosmetology school and graduated at the top of her class. She opened “Sharon’s Beauty Salon” in Panguitch where she met her husband, Keith. Sharon later retired from the beauty salon and stayed at home raising her son Darin. She later began working at the Pines and had several opportunities to share the gospel with inquiring travelers. It was in a way, her own mission to spread the gospel. Sharon loved genealogy work and was known as the family historian. She had obtained and documented countless stories for the rest of her family and posterity to enjoy forever. Sharon loved animals and was known to be a shelter for homeless pets. She loved giving and serving others. As Sharon’s health declined, she spent her final years living in the Garfield County Care Center. She had many friends and loved the staff who helped take care of her.
Sharon is survived by her son, Darin Keith (Rachael) Moore, St. George; 3 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren; sister, Vonda Rae Patton.
