Sharon Jeanne Gheen passed away on De. 24, 2025. Sharon was born in Oct. 1939 in Shawnee. She married her high school sweetheart, Gary Taber. Many years later, Gary and Sharon parted ways but they always maintained a caring relationship.
After graduating from nursing school, she worked at a nursing home since she always had a soft spot for older folk. Fast forward one year and she realized she had lost too many friends (patients) and would be too painful to continue. She then went in the opposite direction and became a pediatric nurse working with her other love: children. She enjoyed this part of her career for many years to come.
In the mid to late 1970’s she opened a men’s clothing store in Drumright, OK. There, she met and married Steve Mavers. Sharon decided to return to nursing and to Tulsa. Her new life back in Tulsa also brought a change, she and Steve reluctantly parted. She met Dr. Del Gheen whom she would later marry and remain so for 33 years until Del passed in 2016.
Sharon is survived by her sons, Jeff and wife Kim Taber, Steve and wife Kristin Taber, Susan and husband Don DeCarlo; as well as, bonus children, Lenore Brown, Mark Gheen and Doug Gheen and their families; Sharon’s beloved grandchildren: Andie, Morgan, Griffin and Jake, Casey, Megan and Nick; along with great-grandchildren: Maddox, Leo and Eleanor.
Sharon was preceded in death by husband, Del Gheen, her father and mother, Elbert and Opal Moody, and brothers, Steve and Mark Moody.
Services were held Jan. 2, 2025 at the Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, OK.
