Sharon Patton Counts passed away on September 17, 2025. She is survived by her loving husband of 67 years Samuel ''Pete'' Counts, whom she met on a blind date and eloped with shortly thereafter.
Sharon graduated from Little Rock Central High School followed by a 20-year career at First National Bank.
She is preceded in death by her sister, Carol Patton Brown and brother Robert Lee (Buddy) Cooper. Survivors include her husband Pete, cousin Bettye Daley, nieces Ina Ward (Boyd) and Caryn Smith (Keith) and a host of great-nieces and nephews.
Sharon spent much of her life devoted to animals of all kinds. She was on the board of the Pulaski County Humane Society and served there in many different capacities. The joy of her life was rescuing, healing and sheltering animals in need.
The family thanks everyone at Arkansas Hospice care for their tender, loving care in her last days. The family will have a private ceremony at a later date.
