Mrs. Sharon Wilmer Etmanski, 81, of Bridgeville, Del., wife of the late Stephen Marcel Etmanski, was called home to our Lord on May 5, 2026.
Born on June 4, 1944, in Sanford, she was the daughter of the late Sanford Wilmer and Pearl Spence Wilmer.
Sharon, to all who knew her, was a caring person who touched lives in a big way.
She lived for her children and grandchildren and was actively involved in all parts of their lives and continues to influence them daily. She loved cooking, baking, cake decorating — she even decorated a cake for former vice president Al Gore for an official event — crafts, reading, and especially flowers.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Sanford and Pearl Wilmer; her brother, Edward James (Jimmy) Wilmer; her husband, Stephen Marcel Etmanski; and her beloved four-legged son, Stanley.
She is survived by her children, Audra Lynn Fisher, of Bridgeville, Tammy Miles and her husband, Lee, of Saxis; her grandchildren, Lauren and Joseph Denny, of Hopewell, and Aubrey Lee Miles III, of Saxis, as well as her faithful canine companion, Susie.
A graveside service was held on Wednesday, May 13, at 2 p.m. from the Downing’s Cemetery, with Pastor Wayne Hill officiating.
Flowers are accepted, or donations can be made to the Sanford Methodist Church.
Arrangements are by the Thornton Funeral Home in Parksley.
