Sharon Bartlett Zepp

Sharon B. Zepp (née Bartlett), born in June of 1958, in Baltimore City, to Mary and Robert Bartlett, passed away on July 14, 2024, in Millersville, Maryland. Sharon was surrounded by family as she transitioned to her forever home with her loving Savior. Songs were sung and stories were told. Laughter and tears flowed freely. She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Kenneth, her son Ben and his wife Laurel. Also surviving is her mother, Mary Bartlett-Dietz,(nee Heil) of Severna Park MD, a brother Randy Bartlett and his wife Lee (nee Harrell), of someplace in Virginia, and a sister, Barbara Menges (nee Bartlett) of Finksburg MD. More survivors include a bunch of really cool nieces, and a couple of strong, righteous nephews. She is also survived by a bunch of cousins on her mothers side who are good at drinking beer. She grew up in Northeast Baltimore and attended Western High School where she played on the gymnastics and softball teams. From there she attended Towson University and majored in Early Childhood Education, played 2 years on the women’s softball team, and graduated Magna Cum Laude. She went on to teach at St. Johns and St. James Elementary School in Baltimore City. She always felt called to help others through her teaching, especially disadvantaged children and the elderly, whether it be Sunday school, baby sitting, in home elder care, or homeschooling her son and trying to make his life a musical. Sharon participated in many activities throughout her life. Northwood Little League, co-ed and women's softball, bowling, traveling with her handsome husband, reading, and puzzles. Her most treasured activities were with family and friends, better known as “My Peeps.” She also enjoyed boating, tubing, and her favorite water activity, extreme floating, especially when margaritas were involved. She was credited with helping to create a new type of jellyfish repellent, The “Thscotsof Shequila” brand. It has become a mainstay for preventing jellyfish stings in the Yecomico River area of Virginia. She held on to her strong Christian faith throughout her 3-year battle with ovarian cancer, breast cancer, a colostomy, a pleural drain, mistletoe therapy, and chemotherapy. Her faith kept her strong, kind, and gracious throughout this most arduous ordeal. A Memorial Service will be held at Severna Park Evangelical Presbyterian Church located at 110 Ritchie Hwy, Pasadena, MD 21122 on Saturday, July 20th, 11AM. A reception will follow the service. The service will be live streamed to the public. A link will be provided at a later date.
