Virginia Delaigle Sharp
March 7, 1928 — February 24, 2013
She is survived by her brother, Donald DeLaigle; sisters-in-law Sarah DeLaigle and Sallie Syms. Her daughters are Virginia Sharp (and husband Larry) Franz, Emily Ann Sharp and Pam Sharp (and husband John) Cray. She was a devoted grandmother to Amy Virginia Franz, Laura Ann Franz, and Casey Elizabeth Page. There is a large extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews. Great joy was brought into her life by her little Bichon companion dog, Beau.
Virginia grew up in Burke County. She met and married John Sharp in Waynesboro, Georgia. Together with their three daughters, they moved to Newnan, Georgia in 1964. She is well remembered by the children that attended Atkinson School as the school secretary where she worked for more than 12 years. Virginia was an active member of Newnan First United Methodist Church. Through the years she became known for baking her delicious pound cakes for any special occasion.
The family wishes to express sincere gratitude to the many caregivers, physicians and nurses; the most recent, Julia Pearce.
