Sharon (Corley) Wallace passed away on January 27, 2019, at the age of 69. Sharon was born in Paris, Arkansas, on November 2, 1949, to John and Blanche Corley. She grew up in Coweta, Oklahoma, and attended Coweta High School where she was the salutatorian of the Class of 1968. She earned her Bachelor of Education from Northeastern State University in 1972. Following graduation, she married Larry Wallace, and the couple moved to Mannford, Oklahoma. Starting her career at Mannford High School as a senior English teacher, she eventually became the full-time librarian. Sharon was an integral part of the school, serving as various class sponsors, National Honor Society advisor and primary grant writer for the school. She had a positive impact on many students and guided numerous beginning teachers during her career. She planned the rebuilding of the school media center after the 1984 tornado and marched on the steps of the capitol for education reform in 1990.
