Sharon Johnson Roberts, of Salem, took the ride of her life to the stars on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, at the age of 60. Anyone who knew her, knew her love for motorcycle adventures, making banana pudding for any event that you ever had, and always working in the yard. She never met a stranger, was the most positive and strongest person ever, and had the biggest smile on her face ALWAYS.
Sharon worked for over 10 years at both Crest Uniform and then Roanoke College.
She loved her family and friends more than anything and took pictures of every moment, of anything that she ever went to.
Sharon Jeanette was preceded in death by her husband, James Roberts; mother and father, Darlene Catron Johnson and Floyd Johnson Jr.; and sister, Judy Furrow.
She is survived by her beloved dog Trixie; sisters, Linda Johnson and Barbara Jessee; nieces, Terah Johnson and Trisha Alley; nephew, Billy Henahan; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
The family wishes to thank special friends, Donna and Cliff Hatcher, Sharon and Mike Bowles, Pam, Ben, and Garrett Farms.
