Sharon Ann Wisnoski

On October 13, 2024, at age 83, Sharon Ann Wisnoski closed her beautifully unique gray eyes. And, when she opened them again, she was in the presence of her heavenly Father, freed from the struggles of this fallen world and a 12 year battle with dementia. She is now blessed with perfect peace, mobility and intact memories of a life well-lived.

Sharon Ann entered this life on August 24, 1941, in Houston, Texas. She was the third child, first daughter, of Marguerite (Bundick) Johnson's nine children. And, was preceded in death by her grandparents, Samuel and Zelma Belle (Hagerman) Bundick, and Bob Cobb; mother and stepfather, Marguerite and Elwin (Johnny) Johnson; brothers, Stafford

Theodore (Bobby) and Larry Lee Wisnoski, David Myles Johnson; sister, Nancy Carole Johnson.

Sharon was a humbled Christian woman, a devoted mother and friend to many, who lived a full life and enriched the lives of others.

More than once, she was described as a “handful” while growing up in Cypress, Texas on a dairy farm among a bunch of boys. She loved farm life but was quick to play the girl-card at chore time. As a teenager, she moved to Houston where she later met and married Bill Jordan, Sr. and raised three children and two step daughters, Dian and Debbie. Through

the years, she lived in various cities and towns in Texas, Arkansas, and Alaska.

Her hobbies involved staying physically active, traveling, and thrift store and garage sale shopping. It is estimated that she walked six miles a day for 30 years. In 2014, she moved to Mineola, Texas. She quickly became a lover of all-things-Mineola, especially walking to church for Sunday and Wednesday services, along the way inviting neighbors to follow.

Once there, she made it her job to toll the church bell, boldly announce her arrival, and “get things started”. By far, her most favorite past time was telling people, including strangers, “I LOVE YOU!”, with the most sincere Spirit-filled enthusiasm. Eventually, dementia took her speech but it never robbed her joy, praise God.

She is survived by her children Tami Jordan Hunt of Mineola, Traci (Marty) Miller of Mineola, Bill (Cynthia) Jordan of Alta Loma, Californa. And, her “favorite kids” close family friends, Jessica Bibby who lovingly and devotedly provided care and assistance for ten years; and Dennis Alexander, who for twelve years telephoned every single night to share stories of their common interests – God, coffee, and running the roads across America.

She is also survived by her three grandchildren Grant Michael Hudgens of Gainesville, FL, Samuel Madison Miller of Mineola, and Sophia Nathalie Jordan of Alta Loma, CA. As well as a great granddaughter, Elizabeth Miller of Mineola. Also left to cherish her memory are her aunt, Lanelle Bundick; siblings, Diane Mahar, John (Pete) Johnson, Mary

and Tommy Rogan; many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family would like to thank her Central Baptist Church family and numerous friends in the community for all of the love and support over the years; a true representation of how she loved her church and community and they equally loved her in return. As well, thanks to her devoted medical care staff: Drs. Cathy and McMullen; nurses: Jessica, Sarah, Kathy, and Sandra; helpers: Dawn, Margaret, Charlie and Burnie, Rose, Louise, Sally, Charlene, and Sharon.

We take comfort in knowing she fought the good fight, ran the race, and kept the faith. Mama-lu will be missed, 'til we meet again in Heaven.

Services will be held on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at Central Baptist Church. Fellowship begins at 12 noon. Memorial service at 2pm, followed by graveside service at Golden Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial can be sent to Central Baptist Church, 602 N. Line Street, Mineola, Texas 75773.
