Sharon Nalle went to be with the Lord on Sunday, July 18, 2021, 3-1/2 months after her 92nd
birthday. Her health failed shortly after a fall in which she broke her hip. She was in and out of
hospitals for her last three months, but was blessed to draw her last breaths at home attended
by her daughter and granddaughter.

Sharon was born Melva Sharon Fry on April 1, 1929 in Lucketts, VA. Her father Melvin Curtis Fry
was a carpenter, her mother Madge Baker Fry a teacher and a homemaker. Sharon worked as
bookkeeper and secretary until 1951, when she married Ned Nalle of nearby Leesburg, VA. The
two were pillars of Sharon's childhood church, Faith Chapel of Lucketts, until they sold their
farm and retired to Central VA in 2003.Their loving marriage lasted just over 60 years, until Ned
passed away on May 8, 2011. Sharon's beloved brother Don Fry passed away that same year.
Sharon fell naturally into the role of matron to a family of six. She kept a spotless house, raised
a bountiful garden, and served excellent meals every day of the week. There are some people
around whom an oven just works better, and Sharon was one of them. There was no kitchen
task that she couldn't conquer, from canning to candy-making and everything in between.
To be a friend to Sharon was to be a friend for life. As late as age 91, she still remembered
every person who lived in every house down Lucketts Road when she was young. She knew
whom they all married, where they lived and worked, and the names of their children. She kept
in touch via phone calls and letters, attended their weddings and funerals, and looked back on
them fondly late in life.

Sharon is survived by her daughter, Sharon Nalle Bedford; her three sons Edward Nalle, Donald
Nalle and Robert Nalle; her ten grandchildren Cara Wilcox, Jacque Spruill, Lena Chung, Spencer
Nalle, Mason Nalle, Benjamin Nalle, Elijah Nalle, Aaron Nalle, John Nalle and Mary Nalle; and
her nine great-grandchildren.

Sharon's funeral will be held at Faith Chapel in Lucketts, VA at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, August 9,
followed by a brief service at Union Cemetery in Leesburg. The family will greet friends at the
church starting at 1:00 p.m. For friends who wish to make donations in her memory, the family
recommends Reece's Rainbow Special Needs Adoption Support.

Sharon's family is grateful to God for the many good years that He gave her, and trusts Him to
keep her until they see her again at the resurrection. "In My Father's house are many
mansions," Jesus told His disciples in John 14. "I go to prepare a place for you… that where I am,
there you may be also."
