Sharon O'Donnell Moylan

Sharon O'Donnell Moylan, 76, of North Providence, died July 17, 2024 in her home. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Joseph H. O'Donnell, Jr. and Yolande M. (Cavedon) O'Donnell. She grew up in North Smithfield, and lived in Providence most of her life.

Sharon was a graduate of Immaculata College, Washington, DC, and Johnson and Wales University. She was a self-employed business management consultant, and later, a successful real estate agent for over 20 years. Sharon was a lovely painter, and avid Tong Ren enthusiast. She was a fashonista, who always looked stunning. Sharon was extremely outgoing, and had a large circle of close friends, to whom she was very loyal. She was devoted to her children, and loved her family. Sharon had a love for animals.

Sharon's message to all is: "If you learned anything from me, carry it with you daily as a reminder I am with you. The glass is always half full if you take the time to look at it. Be slow to judge and quick to understand another's burden. The payoff is rewarding...no regrets. Laughter is the absolute best remedy for any uncomfortableness in life. Remember how we laughed."
