Sharon Lynn Williams Gabler

Sharon Lynn Gabler née Williams, was born on January 8, 1949, in New Orleans, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2024, at 3:00 AM, at St. Tammany Hospital in Covington, Louisiana. She was a devoted mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother, known affectionately as Sissy and Maw Maw. Sharon dedicated 21 years of her career to D&M Enterprise and spent an additional 15 years at Fred's in Franklinton, where she made lasting connections with her colleagues and the community. To Sharon though, her most important job was being a supportive and loving momma. She had a passion for being creative, writing poetry, songs and funny stories, painting, and trying new recipes. She found joy in making realistic looking wax candles, cooking and baking for her family and friends. She was devoted to her faith and church. Sharon was very excited to have met two recent accomplishments, being baptized again with Savion, and having a song she wrote ("Sinners Prayer") fully developed and recorded. Music was a significant part of her younger life, with her favorite artist being Elvis. She also loved her oldies but goodies collection. Sharon was a staunch supporter of the New Orleans Saints, sharing her enthusiasm for the team with those around her. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially her great-grandson, Savion, whom she loved to share stories about.
