Sharon LaVern Hames, age 70 of Norman, passed away on Thursday, July 28, 2016 in Norman Regional Hospital. She was surrounded by her loving family.
She was born in Stigler, OK
to the late Clyde Williams and Jewel Cole on July 7, 1946. She was raised in
Park City, KS where her mother owned a small café and she waited tables. Their
family then moved to Norman, Ok during her Junior High School year.
In 1963, Sharon married the love of her life, David (Terry) Hames. They soon
began raising a family, and life was busy with 3 girls. During those formative
years, Sharon and her family enjoyed many camping trips, and time spent with
friends at the lake. Sharon was an avid skier. She was a bowler, and was also
known to shoot a pretty wicked game of pool. It was important to her to bring
her children up in the church. Sharon was a member of Alameda Baptist Church
where she and her husband taught Sunday School and were active with the youth
group.
Sharon and her mother Jewel owned their own business for over 30 years on the
campus of the University of Oklahoma, Jewel’s Alterations. Named one of Norman’s
‘Best in Class’, their little shop was a fixture on campus corner. From sewing
Orange Bowl patches on the OU players jerseys, making Olympic gymnast suits, to
taking in and out the clothes of all those customers who had gained and lost
weight over the years, there was always a story to tell. Sharon loved the
variety of people who came in to their shop and those customers who had been
loyal for so many years.
Sharon is survived by her husband Terry Hames; daughters, Christie and husband
Scott Walkup of Norman, Ok; Terri Lynn Garrett of Wakarusa, Ks; and Kerri and
husband Randy Thomas of Macomb, OK; grandsons, Jacob and Carson Walkup; Luke and
John Garrett; granddaughter, Hailey Thomas; sister, Vel Wilks of Norman, OK, two
brothers, Gary Gaultney, of Midwest City, OK; Raymond Gaultney of Emporia, KS;
and two nephews; Timmy and Jimmy Gaultney.
