Sandra Shearon Hardy
March 10, 1938 ~ November 28, 2020
ROCKY MOUNT - Sandra Shearon Hardy, age 82, passed away on Saturday, November 28, 2020. Born in Wilson County, NC on March 10, 1938, she was the daughter of the late William Allen Shearon and Pella Mae Shearon. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Wilma Hawkins.
Sandra grew up in Rocky Mount. She was a bus driver and a teacher's aide in the Nash County school system. Sandra was a member of Englewood Presbyterian Church. She loved to spend time at her house on the Albemarle Sound where she and Harvey fished and spent many quiet days after retirement. Sandra enjoyed dancing, playing the piano and singing in the choir. She loved getting together with her high school friends and got very excited whenever it was time for a class reunion. As is often with siblings, Sandra and Wilma didn't always get along when they were young but as they grew older they grew closer together. They spent many weekends together in Atlantic City sitting on high stools playing video slots. If she wasn't with Wilma, Sandra was with Harvey watching Cody and Rachel play ball or out by herself watching Victoria dance and swim. She babysat Shannon and then took trips with her when she modeled. Sandra was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who will be missed by all who knew her.

Words seem inadequate but I share the grief of Sandra’s immediate family. She was a favorite cousin. She was quick witted, had a great sense of humor and had a lot of grit. I always looked forward to visiting with her at family gatherings. She will be missed! Ed Shearon
Ed, I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. She was a kind, loving person with a smile on her face. Every time I saw her she was a joy to be around. May God Bless each one of you. All of you are certainly in my prayers.
Harvey, Eddie, Sharon, and Allen. As y’all know, Sandra was one of my best HS friends. She and I shared so many good times together. We really spread our wings when she joined me in Washington. We were so young and naive….the big city life. She took me in so many times when I came home. Our friendship never altered. We put away a lot of wine with lots of memories and laughter. My dear sweet Sandra, you’ll always remain in my heart. May you Rest In Peace. Love, Joycie

I’m so sorry to hear of Sandra’s passing. She & I attended old Wilkerson School together from 2nd grade thru 8th, then on to old Rocky Mount High School for 1 yr., then graduating from Sr High school in 1956. Have wonderful memories of those days. She was a great person!! Thankful to have been her friend!!
