Graveside Services at Resthaven NORTH

Sharon Dale Stuard, 70, of Midland, Texas was called home by the Lord on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 when she passed away. Services will be held at Resthaven North Cemetery Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 3:00pm. A memorial celebration of Sharon’s life will be held at later date.

Sharon was born February 26, 1950 in Vernon, Texas to JR Bailey and Essie Bailey. Sharon spent her childhood in Midland, Texas, where she graduated from Midland High School in 1968. Shortly thereafter, she married the love (or the “hunk!”) of her life, Jerry Don Stuard, whom she remained married to for 52 years and 8 months. Sharon was a caring mother to her two sons, Damon D. Stuard and John R. Stuard. She went above and beyond as a mother, aunt, sister, grandmother, cousin, friend, and devout Christian. Sharon never met a stranger, befriending and helping all who crossed her path. Sharon had a passion for serving others which she channeled into her many administrative roles, including at Stanton High School and COM Aquatics where she worked for 8 years. Her proudest role was as Administrative Assistant for Deputy Chief, J.R. Smith, at the Midland Police Department, where she retired after 22 years of service. She enjoyed reading, recycling, antique shopping, spoiling her grandchildren, helping others, and had a knack for finding the neatest, most ingenious things.

Sharon is preceded in death by her sister and closest confidant, Judy Bisgard, parents JR Bailey and Essie Bailey, brother Edwin Bailey, brother Robert Bailey, and cousin Terry Bailey. She is survived by her loving husband, Jerry Don Stuard, son Damon Dale Stuard, son John R. Stuard, daughter-in-law Katherine Stuard, sister Janet Louise Bean, brother Jerald Ray Bailey, sister Shirley Dean Nipp, grandchildren: Reagan Stuard, Tate Stuard, Brittani Estrada, Meredith Hardwick, Caroline Hardwick, Shannon Dickinson, Turner Hardwick, Austin Hardwick, and countless nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, friends, and relatives who will miss her dearly. May they all find comfort and peace in knowing that they have gained one of the most extraordinary guardian angels in heaven above.

In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to Meals on Wheels of Midland, where Sharon dedicated much of her time volunteering. Even as her health was declining over the last couple of years and she could not trek up and down stairs, she would wait by the bottom of the stairs for someone to come by so that she could get meals to those who needed them. Even her own body could not keep up with her determination and will to serve those in need.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude towards the lovely caretakers at St. Joseph’s Home Health, all of the nurses and doctors at Midland Memorial Hospital, and loved ones, near and far, who have texted, called, and sent food.

Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland. Online condolences may be made at www.npwelch.com.

Jerry, I love Sharon and you so very much. I’m so sorry her body gave out and you’re having to go through this too soon. She was still so young at heart and she always had so much love for everyone. Sharon always told me how much she loved you and so glad y’all had each other and she knew how much you loved her. I heard it All the time. She wanted me to have someone in my life like she had you ... Someone to love, be there for each other and take care of each other. I’m so glad she had You. She always talked and worried about her family and extended family especially her boys, grandkids, siblings and daughters in laws, as well as her many, many friends. Meeting her in 1992 at MPD was our start to building a strong and lifelong friendship. Being a constant part of her life for so long has been awesome and she is one I will never forget or can be replaced. I was honored and proud to be 1 of her 5 and she was and will always be one of mine. She will be forever missed and remembered.

So sorry for the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. She was a thoughtful and caring person.

The world has lost a beautiful person. Her smile and happiness radiated to all that knew Sharon. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. My deepest condolences to all of her family.

Jerry Don, Sharon was one of the nicest persons Ive ever known. She made the world a better place.

Condolences to Sharon’s family. I had the pleasure of working with Sharon for three years. She was sweet enough to bring a daily smile, and hard-headed enough to work with difficult people like me. Sharon was a blessing to the Midland Police Department, and she was an unwavering Christian as she dealt with the daily challenges of life among police officers. Sharon made everyone feel special and she took the time to listen and show empathy to everyone who crossed her path. Sharon will be missed by all.

Sharon loved you dearly and will miss you so much. Prayers and love to your family.

At every family gathering all the children could not wait for Sharon to arrive. She would sit down on the floor with them and play for hours.She loved children and had the ability to make every child feel special. She was the first person to help anyone who suffered a loss. When I think of her, I remember her melodic voice and calm demeanor. She loved her family dearly. She found her soul mate with her husband Jerry, and she always treasured their time together. Heaven gained an angel, and she is missed by us all.

My condolences to the family during their tragic loss. Sharon was love in action day in and day out. She did what she was called to do and showed Jesus’s love for all to all. Her smile and hugs were some of the best God bless her loved ones with their wonderful memories of her for years to come.

My sincerest heartfelt condolences. Sharon was a truly wonderful person and I am proud and grateful to have know and worked with her for numerous years. She cared for all of us and we cared for her. God bless

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

It is with a broken heart that I send up many prayers for the family. Sharon was such an awesome person whom I loved to pieces. It was with honor that I became friends with her working at the PD. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed...

John, my sympathy is with you and your family. May your mom rest in peace, and may you and your family and friends find peace in Christ at this sad time. Love and hugs.

Our sincerest condolences to your family and friends for your loss. May she rest in peace.

Sharon's smile, kindness, and big heart will never be forgotten. I am thankful to have had to privilege to know and work with her!

Worked with and friends with this beautiful lady for many years. She always had that sweet smile and "Hello Bob Lester" every time we met. She will be missed and love by many. The Angels rejoice when one of their own comes home, she is home and pain free. Until we meet again sweet lady.
