Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Friend and faithful woman of God (affectionately known by many as " Granny") passed away on June 30, 2020 at the age of 81 years.
The daughter of the late Sylvester T. Hollingsworth and Rheta P. (Sturgis) Hollingsworth, Sharon was born on August 24, 1938 in Flint, MI. She graduated from Merrill High School, the class of 1957. Sharon married Herbert A. Letts on September 1961. He predeceased her on January 13, 1983. In 2002, she retired from Bay County, after enjoying a fruitful career which included various employment opportunities over the span of 47 years. Throughout her life, Sharon enjoyed knitting, crocheting and cooking, with which she blessed many people with wonderful handmade gifts and used her talent for preparing delicious food to bring joy to people and bring them together on many special occasions. Sharon was especially known for her Christmas candy and cookies, her catering skills, and Sunday and Holiday dinners prepared with love for her family. In her later years, "Granny" could often be found in the kitchen spending time baking or cooking with her grandchildren and great grandchild, or working on her crossword puzzles.
