Memorial service info
Sharon Jean (Locker) Wilson of Manassas, Virginia passed away peacefully on March 14, 2025. She had just celebrated her 80th birthday with her family a month earlier.
She is survived by her daughter Leah (Mike) Munnis; her son Jonathan (Gery) Wilson; her grandsons Sean and Jared Casey; step-grandchildren Kiauna (Justin) Munnis, Mike Jr, Jeff Munnis, Kiara, and Pamela; her siblings Leo (Sue) Locker, Connie (Rick) Jorgensen, Howard (Marka) Locker, and Brenda (Harry) Duchscherer; countless nieces and nephews; her grand-dogs Tater and Wilson, her grand-cats Sushi and Sashimi, and her grand-fish Ceviche. She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Dorothy Locker; husband, Fred L. Wilson; and brother, Ryan (Maria) Locker.
Sharon was raised on a farm in Balfour, North Dakota, the oldest girl of the six children of John and Dorothy Locker. Her first job was at the Weidlerâs CafĂ© in Balfour. She attended Minot Business College and worked at the Clarence Parker Hotel, during which time she met Fred L. Wilson when he was stationed at Minot Air Force Base. They were married on July 2, 1966, at St. Josephâs Catholic Church in Balfour, then moved to Virginia when Fred was transferred to the Pentagon, eventually settling in Dale City to raise their two kids. Sharon and Fred subsequently made their home for many years in Stafford County, VA. She retired from the Prince William Service Authority and moved to Dumfries, VA, after Fredâs death in 2012. She briefly lived with Leah and Mike in Colonial Beach, where she enjoyed going out for charcuterie, hanging out at Bay One, watching karaoke, and talking to Tater and Wilson. Mom made her final home with Jon and Gery in Manassas, where she loved to feed Ceviche and cuddle with Sushi and Sashimi.
Mom loved praying, reading, walking, visiting, canasta, Knock, cats, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Tom Jones, John Denver, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, the New York Yankees in general, Maryland Terps basketball (especially the girls), The Young and the Restless, Bluebloods, The Waltons, noodles, Geryâs cake, colorful socks and Dove dark chocolate. Later in life, she walked a 5K and discovered a love of California rolls. Mom wasnât the one who told the jokes, but she certainly appreciated them, and she could throw out some surprisingly funny one-liners when she felt like it.
