Ogden, UT – Sharon Braithwaite Knight was born on August 17, 1933 in Ogden, Utah, and died on June 21, 2021 in West Point, Utah.
Sharon was born in Ogden, Utah, to Robert Hillard and Ella Barnes Braithwaite. Sharon was the eldest of her six siblings, three brothers David died, Doyle died, Brent Braithwaite, three sisters Kay Braithwaite, Nedra Dalling, died, Gayle Smith died.
Sharon married Robert “Wayne” Knight forever and ever in the Salt Lake Temple.

Sharon graduated from Butte County High School in Arco, Idaho in 1951. She moved to Utah and received her degree in nursing from the Thomas Dee School of Nursing in 1954. As an RN, Sharon discovered her true passion as a nurse who has worked with seniors for most of her career to help many in the last days of their lives.
The summer passion for Sharon’s family and the Braithwaite clan has always been spent on the family property on the Salmon River. Lots of hours of fun, camping, and property improvement (Grandpa Hillard – Sharon projects!). Memories that last forever.
After more than 40 years as a nurse, Sharon discovered a new passion for making quilts for many, including her grandchildren. She was a keen reader and wanted others to love reading as much as she did.
Sharon was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She worked as a teacher in elementary school and Sunday school for many years. Most of the teaching she did was within her own four walls, sharing her love for the gospel.
She is survived by her brother Brent (Ida); Sister Kay Braithwaite; and sister-in-law Carol Braithwaite; Brother-in-law, Mark Smith; five children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “Aunt Sharon” also had many nieces and nephews whom she loved and admired. Her husband, parents, two brothers, two sisters, a grandson and great grandson preceded them in death.
The family would like to express a special thank you to the assisted living in the family tree and Sharon’s hospice sisters Ashley and Brandi, who lovingly looked after our mother in their last days.
