Obituary For Sharon Salter Smith

Sharon Smith, a precious baby girl, was born on August 6, 1959 in Belle Glade, Florida to her loving parents of L.C. and Eunice Salter.

The family travelled a lot when we were young, so our father felt the Lord directing him to move the family to the beautiful city of Fort Pierce in the year of 1963 where a better life awaited us. God established the family and success and prosperity began to unfold.

She furthered her education at Indian River Community College, now known as Indian River State College. She graduated in 1979 with an A.S. Degree in Secretary Science. After graduation, she then applied for employment at IRSC. She was hired in the Digital Publishing & Print Services Department, formerly known as the Print Shop on April 23, 1985. She retired July 29, 2021 as a Graphic Production Specialist II. She was a long-tenured employee in the same department for 37 years, greeting customers with a smile and doing whatever she could to make sure they were pleased.

Sharon married the love of her life, Terry Smith, Sr. and to this union three handsome sons were born: Shawn Anthony Smith, Terry Lamaroune Smith, Jr. and Bryant Dion Smith who she loved unconditional. Her family was her everything. Weekends were spent with her grandchildren, going out to breakfast and to the mall where she loved to shop until she dropped.

Sharon excepted the Lord as her personal Saviour and he was first in her life. She was a dedicated and faithful servant of the Lord at St. Matthews Missionary Baptist Church. Sharon was dutiful in her job as an usher, prayer warrior and whatever she found her hands to do. She would always, always remember to give gifts to her family for holidays and birthdays.

SHE TRULY WAS A GIFT FROM GOD TO US!!!!!
