JOREENE 'JODY' SHARP
January 27, 2021
Funeral services for Joreene "Jody" Sharp, age 69, of Enid, will be 10 a.m., Saturday, January 30, 2021, at Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Jim Edmison officiating. Burial will follow in Eagle Chief Cemetery, Aline, Oklahoma, under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home.
Jody was born September 1, 1951 in Enid, Oklahoma, to Robert and Mary (Rauh) Morris, and passed away Monday, January 25, 2021, at her home in the presence of her loving family.
Jody grew up in the Enid area and attended Enid Public Schools. She married Terry Ryel in 1969, and they had four sons together. They eventually grew apart, and on December 8, 2005, she married Roy Sharp in Las Vegas, Nevada, blending his three children with her four.
Jody balanced her family life with her work; working at Imation in Weatherford, Oklahoma, and as a correctional guard at Cornell Correctional Facility in Hinton, Oklahoma. Jody loved to cook and keep a clean, neat home. She loved to travel, stay in motels and meet new people. She loved to camp out with her family and loved a good party. She had a smile that always brightened the room. She did not like confrontation between family members and tried to be the peacemaker and stay in the middle. Jody was always thinking about the needs of others over herself. Most of all, she loved doing things with her sons and stepchildren.
Jody is survived by her husband, Roy Sharp, of Enid; her mother, Mary Allen, of Oklahoma City; four sons, Stan Ryel of Oklahoma City, Brian Ryel and wife Kathy of Aline, Travis Ryel and wife Ashlee of Carmen, and Lance Ryel and wife Ashley of Houston, Texas; a stepdaughter, Sheridan Postier and husband Brad of St. Charles, Missouri; two stepsons, Brad Sharp and wife Michelle of Edmond and Kyle Sharp and wife Nikki of Edmond; 16 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
She also leaves her siblings: six sisters, Loretta Johnson and husband Melvin (of Shawnee), Cindy Keith and husband Ken (of Enid), Brenda Rogers and Patrick Murphy (of Oklahoma City), Teresa Jones and husband Mike (of Dyersburg, Tennessee), Anita Ingraham and husband Bruce (of Enid), and Shirley Neal and Kirby Winters (of Blanchard) and Jody's brothers, John Morris and wife Tamara (of Lane, Oklahoma) and Bruce Morris and wife Jamie (of Atoka, Oklahoma), also survive her, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and other family and many friends.
She is preceded in death by her father, Robert Morris; infant sister, Lourita Morris; maternal grandparents, John and Lydia Rauh; paternal grandparents, John and Amy Morris; and brother-in-law Elgin Morrison.
Memorial contributions in Jody's name can be made to the OMRF Alzheimer's Division with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
The family would appreciate if all in attendance would respectfully wear a mask.
