Sharon Paynter-Cleaves

My sympathy to Sharon's family. Sharon was a classmate and a very sweet, caring gal. She & I played clarinet and enjoyed competing but she was without a doubt much better than me, I'll never forget our band challenges. RIP sweet Sharon, you were a wonderful person who showed great leadership in our school.

Sharon was so kind and thoughtful. She taught piano to my kids and always remembered their birthdays, their interests and knew their activities. She was very sweet and patient and definitely made the world a better place. We will miss you Sharon

My deepest sympathies to the family of Sharon during this most difficult time. May she Rest In Peace.

My condolences to my Paynter cousins.

I started my day feeling sad after seeing the morning paper's obituaries and finding the notice of Sharon's death. I knew she had fought off cancer for several years and had hoped she was going to be a survivor for many more. I had the privilege of knowing Sharon since 1998 and always knew her to be a happy soul ( the picture is perfect) who loved music. I remember her being especially happy to be able to play organ at her church at Christmas and to be able to teach children how to play piano. I am certain she is with God's choir now and will be happy forever.
