Sharonda was a 2002 Graduate of Howard High School of Technology. She went on to Dawn Nursing School earning her Certified Nursing Associate.  Upon graduating Doll pursued her career at Kentmere Nursing Home and then to Gilpin Hall until her health failed.

Doll loved shopping of all kinds, you name it she shopped for it and was thee best bargain finder of all.  She would start early to achieve the best selections with her mother and daughter in tow.  She also enjoyed baking & making cupcake specialties for her family and friends.  The morsels or liquid inside those cupcakes would be in the most intriguing of a delectable gourmet.

Doll had a quiet demeanor and she allowed her facial expressions to speak volumes for her.  When she smiled that beautiful smile it could warm your heart.  She will be remembered as a caring & loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, god mother, sister, aunt, niece, cousin & friend to all who knew her.
