Sharon Louella Orr Martin, 70, passed away on March 13, 2024. Born on August 19, 1953, to the late Richard Orr and Inez Hestor in Bossier City, Louisiana, Sharon was a resident of Brunswick, Georgia, since 1964.

Sharon graduated from Brunswick High School and later pursued a degree in nursing. She retired from SeaPak, where she worked as a microbiologist, and spent some time working for King's Square Academy as well.

A member of Saint Francis Catholic Church, Sharon is remembered for her love of animals and the joy she found in camping, hiking, and the outdoors. It became a tradition between herself and her loving husband, Larry, to visit local Monster Truck shows, something she always found herself looking forward to.

Sharon is preceded in death by her parents, Richard Orr and Inez Melluish; her step-father, Hank Melluish; her sister, Patricia Daughtry; and a niece, Karissa Wetzel.

She is survived by her husband, Larry Martin; nieces, Angela Nabb, Chihara Johnson, Jillana McLoon, Melissa Porch; her beloved pet and companion, Penny; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Steven McNichols, Jimmy Pitts, Jerry Jerocki, Matthew Wells, Leslie Jacobs, Robert Brasington, and Tony Albenzie will serve as pallbearers, while Chris Brasington, Trevor Banks, Chris Jackson, Christy Lewis, Frank Ferra, George Ferra, Paul Ferra, and the Knights of Columbus Council 1839 will serve as honorary pallbearers.
