Sharon Denise Warren Carver

Sharon Denise Warren Carver, 72, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loved ones on Friday, August 28, 2026.

A native of Buncombe Co., Sharon was a daughter of the late Buddy Grant and Marcella Joyce Dills Warren. She was also preceded in death by her husband, James David Carver, Jr.; and brothers, Dean, Randy, and Robert Warren.

Sharon graduated from Enka High School, Class of 1972. Everyone who met Sharon instantly loved her; she will be remembered for her sweet nature. She loved bass fishing, baking, cooking, and watching old western movies. She deeply loved her children and grandchildren, and was loved by every child. She also loved spending time on her front porch with her beagle dog, Buddy, watching and feeding birds, and having fellowship with her neighbors, friends and family.

She is survived by her son, Joshua Carver (Melissa); daughters, Tracey Nalley (Don), Stacey McElrath (Bobby), and Vacilla Brook McDaris (Eric); sister, Jennifer Grable; brother, Mike Warren; grandchildren, Kye Carver, Jessica Howard, Rachel McDaris, Eric McDaris, Mason Carver, Rylee Carver, Cy Nalley; great-grandchildren, Hudson Howard and Oliver Howard; many nieces and nephews and other family members; and her devoted and beloved best friend, Betty Pressley, who “was a sister she got to choose”.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Her family will receive friends on Thursday, September 3, at Maple Ridge Baptist Church from noon to 2:00 p.m. The memorial service will then follow at 2:00 p.m. at the church. Pastor Chris Norris will officiate.

Flowers may be sent to Groce Funeral Home on Patton Avenue.
