Julia Lynne Sharpe

**In Loving Memory of Julia Lynne Sharpe**

Julia Lynne Sharpe, a beloved soul formerly of Enka-Candler, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on September 2, 2026, just after celebrating her 72nd birthday with family and friends. Born on August 30, 1954, Julia spent her life bringing warmth, kindness, and love to those around her.

She gained her wings and stepped into eternity while at the Elizabeth House in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Julia was preceded in death by her parents, John Leslie Sharpe and Ruth Louise Goodwin Sharpe, as well as her sister, Rebecca Louise Sharpe O’Kelley.

She is survived by her sister, Crystal Camille Sharpe of Moore, South Carolina, and numerous nieces and nephews, who will cherish her memory forever.

A woman of faith, Julia found great comfort and community in her church. Above all, she truly enjoyed spending time with her family, sharing laughter, and testing her wits with Scrabble, Jeopardy, and trivia games. Her transition leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her, but her family takes comfort in the beautiful memories shared during her recent birthday celebration.

Julia will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her enduring strength, and the beautiful legacy of love she leaves behind.

Details regarding a celebration of life service will be shared by the family at a later date.

Groce Funeral Home on Patton Avenue is assisting the family.
