At my age death of contemporary friends is not an surprising occurrence. But with some it is a shot deep to the Soul.

Sharon was an incredibly beautiful woman. She looked 20-30 years younger than her mid 70s. A powerful Christian warrior who never mentioned the Christian ministries she provided to many. She was a talented artist. Various media but oils were throughout her gorgeous home. She and her husband Mike Marsalis had a fascinating life including living in Paris where they both went to culinary school and studied under Julia Child .

I met them via politics: GOP/Free Republic/theRight Side. We were all good alpacas 😊

Time spent at their home always fun especially watching the antics of their whippets interacting with my dogs. Great food, good wine, movies, deep discussion . Many laughs many memories and many prayers together

I Told them last around my birthday Nov 2022 that I’d be over to research triangle to see them. Then my van died. I got it back yesterday morning n drove for first time since Nov. sadly ironic Sharon stepped into eternity that same afternoon

You definitely touched a multitude of lives with you gentle caring spirit.

We love you Sharon

Facebook friends and family, this is Michelle Marsalis Floyd on behalf of my precious mom. It is with much sadness that I share the news of my mother's passing yesterday afternoon 5/27/23. She entered the excellent care of the Heart Center ICU of WakeMed in Raleigh, NC on Tuesday evening. My amazing father Mike Marsalis, my brother Michael and myself were with her all week. Yesterday, my husband Rob Floyd and sister-in-law Megann Clark joined us as we held her hand and said goodbye. We grieve on this side of heaven because she was a truly exceptional wife, mother, friend and sister in Christ who will be missed beyond measure. She brought so much light and beauty into our lives, always faithfully pointing our hope and our hearts to Jesus. Our family is planning a Memorial Service for Sharon at Crossroads Fellowship Church in Raleigh in mid-late June.

She may have deleted her account. Much turmoil n pain with folk here during primaries. We were all affected. She was active with bicycling n Tour de France, movies, various daily groups But being attacked does take its toll
