Shirley Bea Charret's Obituary
Shirley Bea Charret, 78, passed away May 29th, 2017 in Tampa. She was born May 27th, 1939 in Columbus, Indiana to the late Ruth and Charles Sullivan. She was predeceased by her husband John in 2001. Shirley was of the Baptist faith. She enjoyed spending time with her family. In her free time she liked to dance and loved shopping. On one of the family trips to the movies she was with her daughters watching Arachnoid-(a movie about a spider invasion 3D) when her daughter Sherry got popcorn and threw it at her mom in the exact moment a spider seemingly jumped off the screen into the crowd. Well Ms. Shirley let out a holler and everyone in the theater just went wild with laughter. This was one of the family’s fondest memories.
Left to cherish her memory are her “baby girls” Cindy Colvin of Tampa, FL, Tammy Hyder and her husband Wayne of Thonotosassa, FL, Brenda Jayheart and husband Tim of Lake Orion, MI, and Sherry Hodges also of Thonotosassa, FL.
One sister Janie Gates of Indiana.
