Sharon had been in my life since elementary school and continued through life. It was a privilege to be her friend. We never lost contact through the years, and we always “picked up” exactly where we left off. I miss her, but Praise God I will see her in our eternal home.

I cannot bring to mind two finer people than Sharon and Johnny Heflin. I learned so much serving alongside them on the American Heart Association Board. Their leadership and concern for our community were inspirational. Stacie and I send our condolences and offer our prayers for Marc and Jay and the entire family. May God's peace that transcends all understanding surround you during this time of grief.

I have not had any personal contact with the family since I taught Dr Boo in the seventh grade. I have through the years seen the generosity of the family to be of service to others to
make our community a better place.

Sharon was love, inspiration, dedication, generosity and humility, all wrapped into a beautiful human being. From the day I met her, I knew that she would be someone that would make my life better.
I can speak the same for my wife, Mandy, who loved her dearly. we will miss her everyday.

Mark and Jay. It saddens me to read about Sharon’s passing. You all were a very close family and when Johnnie moved to heaven, you all became stronger as a family. A beautiful family. My husband first met Johnny at a job interview. Mike had read about Johnny and his father and he wanted to work for them at Terminix. They talked a long time but Johnny told Mike that as much as he would like to hire him, he would not be able to pay Mike what he was making. Mike told him he did not care because he wanted to work for their company. And Johnny. After many phone calls Johnny gave in And hired Mike. Mike loved Johnny like a brother and had the highest respect for Sharon. Now Mike will be able to spend time with them both in heaven.
I know that you. boys are strong and have beautiful families of your own. You have been highly blessed.

Sharon showed such love and compassion to all. It was an honor to serve with Sharon as we began AR Kids Read to help children read at grade level. There was such a twinkle in her eye when she was with the kids and spoke about AR Kids Read, her Lord and Savior, and all of the wonderful charities she loved and served.

She will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

I am so sorry to learn of the loss of Sharon. She was infinitely kind. Her first impulse was always, "What can I do to help" She was so attentive to my mother, especially in her later years. They shared many things in common: both graduates of Ouachita, widowed at a relatively young age, long-time members of Second Baptist Church, and both with a loved one afflicted with the same type of cancer. Johnny was diagnosed and treated for AML Leukemia. Later I too was diagnosed and treated for the same condition. Sharon was such a constant support to me and my mother during this agonizing time. When my mother eventually passed away, I could always expect to receive an inspirational card from her on the anniversary of her passing. My heart goes out to her family and all those who knew and loved her. In her memory, I don't think anything would make her happier than if a person would sign up on the Bone Marrow Registry to donate stem cells in order to save a life. You may be a match for someone out there and not even know it.

Knowing Sharon Heflin and working alongside her in support of the Arkansas Hospice mission in our early days and beyond is one of my best memories. Her support was crucial in opening the first hospice home in Arkansas. She enriched her community far and wide and her graciousness enlightened and blessed all who knew her. My deepest condolences.

To say that Sharon Heflin touched our lives would be a vast understatement. She served on the auxiliary board and in countless other leadership roles at Baptist Health, was a true friend, mentor and difference-maker. There was never a worthy cause that she would not champion. Her life was one of dedication to family, friends, her faith and community. What a team she and Johnny made! And their legacy lives on in their amazing sons, Jay and Marc and their families. Our sons, Jimi and Gabe well remember Sharon’s many kindnesses to them when they were growing up. They join us in mourning her passing and celebrating her life. We are holding the Heflin family close to our hearts with much love, Jim & Callye

To all of the Heflin family: In the 29 years my family lived in Little Rock I will always remember the wonderful times we had with Sharon and her family. My wife Judy and I enjoyed having her two sons in Sunday School. She and her family meant so much to Second Baptist Church.

Sharon was almost too good to be true. In addition to her stunning beauty she was smart, kind and gracious to everyone.

She was every guys dream girl from South West Jr High to LR central and Ouachita Baptist.

Her outstanding charity work and generosity were known throughout Pulaski County and beyond.

A shining picture of a life well lived.

RIP

Sharon Heflin had such a bright and uplifting presence and a real emotional generosity. This photo of her shows her beauty, which was only matched by the loveliness of her spirit.

She reached out to me when I was trying to sort through the medical device options for my mother and steered me to something that greatly improved the quality of my mom’s life for her last months. I was so grateful for her guidance. Every year on the anniversary of my mother’s death, she sent a card.

She spoke about her family with love and was proud of her children, and she loved Johnny.

I send condolences to her family and friends. She was treasure.

It was my honor to serve with Sharon on the American Heart Association Board. She dedicated her life to helping others. She was very interested in supporting research and education with a special emphasis on women's heart health. She was an inaugural donor to the Women’s Cardiovascular Professorship in the College of Nursing at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Sharon was one of the most generous, kindest and caring people I have ever known. My deepest condolences to her sons and family.

There is new joy and rejoicing in Heaven with the great reunion of Sharon and Johnny. Their beautiful and giving lives literally touched and changed multitudes of lives. The years of giving and serving at Ouachita Baptist University have created a legacy that will last forever. To know the Heflin Family as Friends, is one of Life’s great treasures. My prayers are with Jay and Mark and their families as they walk through these days.

The future life of Sharon was forecasted even as a student at Ouachita. Sharon and Johnny gave significant clues as students that their relationship would help shape Ouachita and Arkansas throughout their lifetime. It is never easy to lose people of Sharon’s status. She loved life, people and her God! Prayers are given for the family.

Heaven recieved a beautiful, gracious and kind lady! Sharon has been a precious friend since we started first grade together at Oakhurst Elementary. There aren't enough words to say all the wonderful things she did for people and really didn't want recognition for having done so. Sharon, rest in the Lord and I have no doubt she heard the words "well done, my faithful servant". We will miss you.

The last time I spoke to her on the phone was last year. She also sent me a card when my husband died. She was so pretty and so sweet She helped so many people in her life. She will be greatly missed.

Jay and Marc,
I know the angst you are feeling right now...though you knew this day would come soon, it gets here too quickly. Your mom was more than proud of you both for the paths of your lives...she knew through everything she faced that you were okay...were equipped for the tasks of your lives...and there was no doubt in her heart of your love for her. I don't think I've had a birthday in the past 45 years that there was not a card in the mail from her. I will miss that this year. Know you are both loved by so many folks...and as simply an observer through the years, I can say, "Well done, good and faithful servants!" You are the men Sharon hoped you would be. I'm glad my son knows you both...that cements a place in my heart for you.
