Sandra Roberts Sharpe, 76, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at her home in Myrtle Beach, SC, on August, 20, 2025.

Sandra was born in Asheville, NC, on July 2, 1949, to Richard and Jean Thornburg Roberts and grew up in Hot Springs, NC.

She was a registered nurse at Memorial Mission Hospital and Appalachian Hall before becoming a stay-at-home mom. She adored her husband of 54 years and devoted her time to being a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Sandra dearly loved her children and grandchildren and thoroughly enjoyed watching them all grow up. She was an avid fan of all of their activities ranging from sports, theater, to playing musical instruments.

Sandra is survived by her husband, Fred Sharpe who was her high school sweetheart and love of her life; daughter, Tonya Greene (Scott), daughter, Amy Clifford (John), and son, Andy Sharpe (Olivia); grandsons, Alexander Greene, Ryan Clifford, and Andrew Clifford, and her granddaughter, Addison Greene.
