Sharon Wells

Sharon Moore Wells, 68, beloved wife, mother, sister, daughter, and grandmother, died peacefully Saturday morning, January 7, 2023, in Murray, Kentucky.
 
Although Sharon lived for many years in Alaska, where she raised her family and where her children and grandchildren still live, Sharon spent much of her early life in Murray. She was a graduate of Murray High School and Murray State University and was a member of First Baptist Church. After moving to Alaska, Sharon discovered her true calling—working with the elderly at the Pioneer Home, an assisted living and nursing home where she made many friends and brought much joy to the residents as she served as Activities Director for the facility.  
 
She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Paul Wells, and their children, Ethan Wells (Randi) and Erin Espinosa (Miguel); her mother, Martha Watts Moore; her brother, Doug Moore, and sister, Bettie Moore Whitworth (Neal); her niece, Mattie Whitworth Comstock (Weston); and her beloved grandchildren, Peyton Perry, Parker Perry, Owen Espinosa, Piper Espinosa, Keylon Wells, Addilyn Wells, and Noah Wells. She was preceded in death by her father, Ray P. Moore.
 
Of her many accomplishments, Sharon’s greatest roles were being a mother to Ethan and Erin, and “Noonie” to her beloved grandchildren. They were her pride and joy, and their love for her and the bond they all shared was truly remarkable to behold.
 
Sharon will be missed greatly.
