Margo Anderson Sharp, our loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, graduated from this earthly realm to rejoin her Heavenly Father on March 26, 2022,after a valiant battle with cancer at the young age of 74.
Margo was the third of four children born to Clarence Aagard Anderson and Virgo Benson Anderson on June 3, 1947, in Cedar City, Utah. She spent her childhood years in both Cedar City, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Margo’s happy childhood was enjoyed until age 6 in Cedar City after which the family moved to Salt Lake City where she enjoyed the “big city life”. Margo attended Skyline High School and graduated in 1965.
Soon after high school Margo met Richard Baker Sharp, and the young couple quickly fell for each other. Margo has often spoken of how lucky she considered herself to be in meetingRichard, which time proved correct. Margo & Richard quickly fell in love and thereafter she often referred to him as “The Love of Her Life”. Richard soon gave Margo his high school ring as a promise token of his love.
As the young couple dated, Richard set a goal and had soon saved enough money to purchase a new ring. A short time later while on a date and while holding her sweet hand, Richard gently slipped the high school ring off her finger and excitedly exchanged it with a diamond engagement ring. Margo joyfully accepted both the proposal & ring with the smallest amount of hesitation, only because she was so very fond of the high school ring which she had come to love and custom fit to herself by wrapping it with tape.
Margo Anderson married Richard Sharp on April 14, 1967, in the Salt Lake Temple. As their love for one another grew thecouple soon adopted the tender and loving pet names of Kyedo(Richard) and Meego (Margo) which they referred to each other throughout their lives together.
The couple are parents to three beautiful daughters; Deborah, Lisa, and Teresa, to whom they have dedicated their lives. Teresa, a special angel, with special needs, blessed the home for only 7 years before returning to her Heavenly Father at the end of her earthly mission.
Margo’s family has always come first in everything she does andare at the center of her life. Margo & Richard’s grandchildren, and great grandchild are very special to the couple and are always the source of loving satisfaction. Margo enjoyed going out to lunch and shopping with her mother, daughters, and granddaughters. She loves to support her grandchildren in anything they do. Margo & Richard love to host holidays and celebrations at their beautiful home in Sandy, Utah. She loved trips spent with her family to various locations, both indoors andoutdoors. She often spoke of one of the highlights of her travel life which was spending the time to take a cruise to the Caribbean with her mother Virgo Anderson.
Margo and her family love the adventure of traveling in the Western United States visiting sites such as The Redwoods & Yosemite National Parks in California, taking in the sites and shopping various stores in and around Jackson Hole, Wyomingand other various towns to find that special, perfect memento.Margo and her family have enjoyed many hours and trips spending time with each other exploring various sites in Utah with their ATV’s.
As all that know Margo can attest, she has a keen eye for beautiful things, and a fun fact about her that some may not know, is that she always considered herself a self-proclaimed “rockhound”. One of Margo’s many talents is that she has a keen eye for the beauty of rocks. She and Richard love to spend time together searching out the prettiest rocks, some not so small, which over the years have been added to their beautifully landscaped yard, and which had to be placed just so. A family favorite from the Lyman Cave area in Utah’s western desert has resided in their back yard for many years and is admired daily.
Margo is noted as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She has always been an exemplary homemaker and housekeeper. Her house has always been consistently decorated with tasteful decor, kept spotlessly clean, and is always a joy to visit. Together with Richard, the couple have always maintained a well-manicured yard, and as spoken of earlier is landscaped with many decorative rocks, trees, shrubs and flowers.
Margo has always been a very kind, loving, thoughtful and compassionate person. She has always been very accepting of others and always goes out of her way to make others feel happy and comfortable. Richard has been faithfully devoted to caring for her throughout her healthy life and her illness.
Margo is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and has held callings where she selflessly gave many years of faithful service in her Visiting Teaching & Ministering callings, and especially in her callings focusing on her love of children with her primary teaching callings.
Margo also spent many years working in the school lunch program and special needs teaching departments at the Jordan School District in Sandy, Utah.
Margo is survived by her husband Richard Baker Sharp, two daughters Deborah Marie Karr (Kenneth Tyler), Lisa Lynette McElmurry (Brook Edwin), eight living grandchildren, one great granddaughter and two brothers. She is preceded in death by her parents, daughter Teresa, grandson Austin McElmurry, and sister Sharon Anderson Patton. She will be greatly missedby all who know and love her.
