Obituary of Donna Ann Sharpe

Donna Ann Holder Sharpe, 53, of Blythewood, SC passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, June 4, 2015 after a long battle with breast cancer. She was born on November 30, 1961 in Windsor, NC, to Gabi Schwarz Holder and the late Clarence J. "CJ" Holder. She was employed as an office manager for Wayne Corley, CPA and was very successful in all her endeavors. These endeavors also included service on the board of the My Amigos Bilingual Educational Center and creating the newsletter "Die Donna Welle", for the German Kaffeeklatsch. Donna was kind hearted and had a beautiful spirit that never met a stranger. She always had a bright smile and a twinkle in her eye. She selflessly gave of her time making blankets as gifts for friends, family and others in need including a local children's home. Her favorite interests were her bird Chewy, her Dodge Challenger, Mopar Club family and learning how to play the guitar. Donna was most proud of her family. The love they shared and the time they spent together were precious for all. Those whose lives were touched by Donna will miss her. Donna is survived by her loving and devoted husband; Duane Sharpe, her loving mother; Gabi Holder, her loving sister; Libby Holder and her in-laws Larry and Connie Sharpe. She is also remembered by her friends Everett and Jamie Jackson, Missy Burke Graham and her beloved bird Chewy. She was predeceased by her father Clarence J. (CJ) Holder. Memorial services will be at Hope Baptist Church, 2117 Clemson Road, Columbia, SC 29229 on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 12 PM with the Reverend Karen Diefendorf officiating.
