Alma June Sharp, known as "June" to her friends and family, left this world peacefully for eternal rest with her Heavenly Father on Sunday, April 3, 2022. She was born Saturday, June 11, 1927, to James and Vera Shufflebarger on a cotton farm in Osceola, AR. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Sandra K. Sharp, her husband of 68 years, Captain Donald V. Sharp; her parents; and her sister, Mary Ann Bell. June graduated from Jonesboro High School in Jonesboro, AR, and attended Arkansas State University, graduating from Jonesboro Business College.

Her favorite activities while her children were growing up were watching her son play baseball and leading her daughter's Camp Fire group, along with having coffee with her neighbors and knitting beautiful throws. After retiring from DHS, she enjoyed visiting and working on her son's ranch in Osage County.
