Sharon Rena King, known fondly as Sharon by her friends and family, passed away at the age of 57 on November 3, 2025, in Slocomb, Alabama. Born on April 29, 1968, in Geneva, Alabama, Sharon was a beacon of light to all who knew her, characterized by her friendly demeanor and kind heart.
Sharon was a proud graduate of Dale County High School, Class of 1986, where she formed lasting friendships and discovered her passion for helping others. She began a career at the Houston County Sheriff’s Office as a corrections officer. She carried the same dedication to her work when she later joined Southeast Health as a security officer, where her coworkers became a second family to her over her two years of service.
Sharon is survived by her daughter, Amanda Thomley (Joseph), and her granddaughter, Savannah Thomley. She was preceded in death by her parents, KL and Jane Shiver.
An avid Alabama fan, Sharon’s enthusiasm for her team was infectious, and she could often be found cheering them on surrounded by friends. Her adventurous spirit shone brightest when she was riding motorcycles with The Renegades, a group that became a significant part of her life. The freedom of the open road and the camaraderie of her fellow riders provided Sharon with a sense of thrill and community that she treasured deeply.
As we say goodbye to Sharon Rena King, we celebrate the legacy of a woman who lived her life with purpose and kindness. Sharon’s journey through life was a testament to the power of warmth and friendship, and though she will be deeply missed, the stories of her life will continue to resonate with all who knew her.
A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 11am in the Sunset Memorial Park Chapel. The family will receive friends an hour prior to the service.
