Sharon Lee Gillis
Sharon was born in Helena Montana, December 28th, 1938 to Ruth and Charles Gates. Sharon passed away June 5, 2018 with her family by her side in Richland, WA. She grew up and attended school in Richland. Sharon was a strong, fun loving and caring woman. Her favorite things in life were golf, bridge, cross country snow skiing, traveling with her husband, Murt, in their motor home, hanging out at their Packwood cabin, enjoying the beach with her family, gardening, and caring for her pets.
Sharon married her first husband, Gaylon Berg, in 1957 and had three children: Richard Berg (Barbie), Randal Berg (Stacy), and Gaylinn Berg (Brian Johnson). Later Sharon met the love of her life, Murlin Gillis, and they were married in 1971. Sharon has four grandchildren: Chad Nixon (Jessica), McKensie Cleveanger, Rilie Berg, and Kelsie Berg.
She was preceded in death by Murlin Gillis (husband), Charles Gates (father), Ruth Palmer (mother), Ray Palmer (stepfather), and Sue Gates (sister).
A celebration of life ceremony with family and friends will be held at a later date.
Sharon was an important part of my life. We met when I was employed at Battelle in Richland; she helped make ‘work’ a fun time, and taught me a lot about being a secretary. We have kept in touch after all these years. She will be greatly missed by many, including me. She was always devote to her family; they can look back and smile at their fantastic times together. God bless each of you all.
