Sharon Blackwell

In loving memory of our mother Sharon “Mudggy” Blackwell. She was a daughter, sister, niece, friend and second mom to many.  

Sharon was born December 21, 1958 in Chicago Illinois to the parents of Emile Blackwell Sr. and Gertrude Blackwell.  She was loved, admired and a real life angel on this earth who led with her heart.  She was a pillar in every community she touched. She was dedicated to helping others, especially those in dire need. She provided truth and guidance. This only speaks to her character. She worked in healthcare for over 40 years with the majority of her career at Ravenswood Hospital and Joseph E Hill early childhood center.

She is survived by her sons Joseph Patrick Blackwell and William Arnold. Her grandchildren Patrick Christopher and Eva Eisley  Blackwell. Her brothers Emile Jr, Terrell, Darrell, Gregory, Glenn, Larry and Kevin Blackwell as well as three sisters Betty Clayborne, Jean Franklin and Carol Landry and an army of  nieces  and nephews, literally an army.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Sister Sandra Blackwell and brothers Michael and Wayne Blackwell.
