Sharon Marlow

Sharon Marlow was born on December 11th, 1943 in Los Angeles, CA. She passed away on July 4, 2023 in Santa Barbara, CA.

Sharon was known by her grandchildren as “Ducky” because she did not want to be called Grandma. Her heart was eternally young and her gift of living life to the fullest was contagious. Being around Sharon, you knew you were going to have a good time, and you could be sure you would be well taken care of.  She spent the majority of her life between the beautiful beaches of Santa Barbara, CA and majestic mountains of Sun Valley, ID.

She has left a giant void in this world and life won’t be the same without her.

Sharon leaves behind her children Suzanne, Michael, Leslie (Todd Maschmedt) and grandchildren Oliver (Sarah) & Ben Fries, Sam, Charlie,Teddy Maschmedt, and Luke, Emma, and Finn Marlow.

Sharon joins her late Husband Hobbs B. Marlow who she has waited for years to reunite with. Sharon’s family and friends are at ease knowing Hobbs and Sharon are together now, holding hands, walking on the beach, and looking into the sunset.

Funeral Service will be held on Friday July 14th at 1pm: Santa Barbara Cemetery, 901 Channel Dr. Santa Barbara, CA 93108.

Celebrations to follow immediately after service.

In lieu of flowers a fund in Sharon’s name has been set up at St. Judes Childrens Medical Research Center. Memorial ID #23530151

The family would like to thank the Alexander Gardens & Hospice staff for their impeccable care in the final days of Sharon’s life.
