Sharron passed away form this earth into the loving arms of her heavenly Father on February 5, 2016 in Richland, WA at Kadlec Regional Medical Center.

Sharron, a longtime resident of Richland, WA was born on July 27, 1945 in Hutchinson, Kansas to Lloyd and Ruby Gould McMillan. At age two, she and her family moved to Cle Elum, WA and on her 7^th birthday moved to Moses Lake, WA where she grew up. Upon graduation from Moses Lake High School, Sharron moved to the Tri-Cities and attended CBC. She worked several years for Gesa Credit Union, Richland, WA in Member Services where she met her current husband, Kenneth R. Sump. They were married on December 9, 1988 at Sanibel Island, Florida. Shortly after her marriage, she left Gesa to begin a new and fulfilling life with her husband and stepsons, Kevin and Craig. On April 1, 1995, Sharron and her family became the original owners of Golden Palm Tanning in Kennewick, WA. She enjoyed the customers and stayed in contact with many of them after the business was sold. Sharron’s favorite hobbies were crocheting, sewing, crafts, planting flowers and trying out new recipes to cook for family and friends. She always looked forward to those happy times and the many travels and wonderful places her husband would take her in their motor home. The Little Naches area and Oregon Coast were very special places for her. Four mini Yorkshire terriers (the kids), JJ. Korky, Sammy, Molly were a big part of her life. Sharron was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Richland, WA where she truly found the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.

Sharron is survived by her loving and dear husband, Kenneth R. Sump; one daughter, Kristine Hatfield and husband Mickey of Kennewick, WA; two stepsons, Kevin Sump and his wife Kristine of Richland, WA, and Craig Sump of Kennewick, WA. She is also survived by two brothers, Dale McMillan and his wife Joyce of Renton, WA and Tom McMillan of California; and five grandchildren, Sarah, Lacey, Taylor, Katarina, and Kalvin; three nephews and two nieces. She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Lloyd and Ruby McMIllan.

A special “Thank You” to the Kadlec doctors and staff for their kindness and care during Sharron’s illness, which were her Angels her on earth.

It was Sharron’s wish that there would be no viewing but only a graveside service for family and close friends which will be held Monday, February 8, 2016 at 10:30am at Sunset Gardens in Richland, WA. Pastor Todd Schroeder will be officiating.

“Just a Memory Away”

I’m no longer by your side,

But there’s no need to weep;

I’ve left sweet recollections

I’m hoping you will keep.

Eternal joy and memories

Stay in our hearts forever,

Strengthening our special bond

That parting cannot sever.

Now it’s time to journey on,

So let your faith be strong,

For I am in a better place…

Safely, in Jesus’s loving arms.

And if times of loneliness

Bring sorrow and dismay,

Don’t despair, for I am there…

Just a Memory Away!
