Sharon R. Williamson

Sharon (Butler) Williamson, 78, passed away on November 5, 2026, in Jacksonville, FL. She was a devoted mother and grandmother whose gentle spirit and generous heart touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Sharon was born on January 1, 1948, in Miami, Florida to Rose (Ashbrook) Davis. Sharon spent many years living in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. Florida always remained home. Throughout her life, Sharon considered her greatest accomplishments to be her three sons and her three grandchildren. Raising her boys and watching her family grow brought her immeasurable pride and joy, and she cherished every milestone along the way.

Those who knew Sharon will remember her as kind, caring, nurturing, and deeply compassionate. She had a natural gift for making others feel welcome and cared for, and she offered comfort and support freely to family and friends alike. Her warmth was a constant presence in the lives of those around her, and her compassion left a lasting impression on all who crossed her path.

Sharon found great happiness in the simple pleasures of home. She was a wonderful cook and baker, and her kitchen was often filled with the aromas of meals and treats prepared with love for the people she held dear. She also delighted in gardening, tending to her plants with the same patience and care she showed her family. A creative soul, Sharon enjoyed drawing and expressed her artistic talents throughout her life.

Sharon is survived by her sons, Pete Williamson, Wayne Williamson, and Mike (Sam) Williamson; her grandchildren, Ryan Pitkat, McKayla Williamson, and James Williamson; her sisters, Verlen Fox and Donna Links, her sister-in-law, Brenda Butler; and her brother, Ralph (Fran) Butler. She also leaves behind many extended family members who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William (Bill) and Rose Davis, her brother, Dannie Butler, and her brother-in-law, Paul Fox.

A private celebration of life will be held to honor and celebrate Sharon on Saturday, November 28, 2026.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that floral tributes be sent to Alto at Duval Station, where Sharon lived for the past three years, located at 1035 Starratt Road, Jacksonville, FL 32218. Sharon was deeply loved and cared for by the Alto team.
