SHARON MOORHEAD WOODS, CLASS OF ’65, RANDOLPH HIGH SCHOOL

I’ll let Jackie Darling Anderson, Class of ’64, say it best:

The world has lost a great woman in my dearest friend, Sharon Moorhead Woods. Her sweet daughter Alexis posted this today. Sharon was in the Class of 1965 at Randolph AFB, Texas where we became kindred souls up to no good. We had nicknames for each other and we kept them forever. We shared adventures and stories and she was a Southern girl to her very core. She snuck me into her dorm at the University of Texas after hours....I can’t believe we didn’t get caught. We liked slumber parties at Kris’ house and staying up all night to gossip and talk and sneak cigarettes. We got in trouble and we didn’t care. We lived in a golden time for our generation and I will forever cherish this fine woman for all she stood for and all she did for me and with me. Rest In Peace my lovely friend.

From her daughter, Alexis Woods Bohrer:

My mother Sharon Alexis Moorhead Woods passed peacefully late last night (June 18th) and was released from her earthly struggles. I will lay her to rest next to her baby sister Marilyn on Thursday the 27th at 11 AM in Lynchburg, Virginia in a small burial ceremony. Thanks to all of the family and friends who have supported her and I throughout these difficult years. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Angelwood at angelwoodjax.org. Fly Momma Fly!!!

Condolences can be sent to her daughter and her brother:

Notes from Alums:

A wonderful person. Our prayers are with her family. Cornel Walker ‘65

So sorry to hear this news.  Her sister was a close friend of my sisters.  I let my sis know.  She has kept in touch with the family all these years. Bonnie Horne McKeever ‘64

Before my time, but sounds  like a much loved gal...God Bless you. Gloria for keeping  us all connected....Judith Shepard Chapman ‘69

They lived right across the street on North Park just down from the Taj. I knew her as David’s big sister.

I REMEMBER Sharon Moorhead,  very Well,  for some reason.  We were never Buddies,  but for some reason;   I LIKED her ….  A lot.   She must have been ‘kind to me’,  at some point,  there at school.  I always thought that she was VERY PRETTY. SAD NEWS to read this. This makes me realize,  even more that I should TELL PEOPLE:   the positive feelings that I have toward them.  Tom Madsen ‘66

It saddens me to hear about our classmates passing. I live the last sentiment from her daughter.  Fly momma fly.  Yes, Sharon. You are free to soar with God. 

Rest In Peace my friend.  Donna Pierini ’65 (a/k/a Dee Bishop)

Sharon was my next door neighbor for the two years I was there.  I remember her knocking on my window one very early morning to tell me that it was snowing and to come out and share the fun with her.  She was a special person. Sharon and my brother Michael were in the same grade 

To her family only good memories in celebration of Sharon's life. Jill Wagner Porter ‘64

Unfortunately we are in that era for our class when we will lose our friends. Fortunately we will always have our memories of Sharon leading out that magnificent Pep Squad on Friday nights. 

I hope you and Danny are well.  Bob Lee ‘65

Thanks for letting us know Gloria!  What a beautiful message Jackie wrote!  I always really liked her!  I’ll try to send you a great photo of her (later) leading the drill team! Suzi King Spencer ‘66

How sad so very sad. Was a very nice person. Harry D. Johnson ‘66

Saddens my heart😞 Blessings, Janet Francis Murillo '64

h this is sad news.  I remember Sharon as a very familiar smiling face and name at RHS though I doubt if she would remember me.  

She seemed to be involved in so many parts of student life.  

Really doesn't seem so long ago.  Peggy McDowell Oliver
