Sharon was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend who dedicated her life to caring for all of her family. While her greatest joy in life was her children and grandchildren, she also enjoyed the small things, like sitting by the water, fishing with her daughter. She was so kind and generous to everyone she met and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her and had the pleasure of being loved by her. She was preceded in death by: her grandparents, William and Oma Wooster; a brother-in-law, Tom Parsons; and her beloved husband, Curt Lirette. Sharon is survived by: her parents, Bill and Dorothy (Wooster) Richison of Jena, LA; her children: Russell Thomas of Rolla, MO; Christina (Enke) Dupre and husband Nick of Houma, LA; and Derrick Lirette of Houma, LA. She survived by 5 grandchildren: Chelsea Thomas (St. James, MO), Caleb Landry, Crystle Landry, Gage Dupre, and Carsyn Landry (all of Houma, LA). She is also survived by her siblings: Brenda Parsons of St. James, MO; Chiquita Thompson and husband Charlie of Jena, LA; Kenneth Johnson and wife Debi of Clinton, MO; Billy (Troy) Richison and wife Linda of Lafayette, LA; and Theresa Johnson of Rolla, MO, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of her life will be held at Smart Funeral Home in Houma, LA on Thursday, September 29, 2016 from 9am - 1pm. A memorial will also be conducted in Missouri at a later date. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, a donation in Mrs. Lirette’s name be made to the American Cancer Society or to your local Hospice. ======================
