Sharon Stovall Garol

October 3, 1943 - March 15, 2022

Sharon Stovall Garol, 78, of Dallas, TX went home to Jesus on March 15 after a valiant battle with cancer. Sharon was born October 3, 1943, to Robert and Bobbye Anderson in Dallas, TX. After graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1961 she went on to study speech pathology at the University of Texas at Austin and became a speech therapist. In 1964 she married her high school sweetheart and fellow Longhorn, Ron Stovall. The two went on to have five children. In 1992 Sharon married her second husband, John Garol, and moved to Long Beach, CA. John and Sharon ran an orthodontic practice in Westwood, CA for 25 years before moving to Dallas in 2017. Sharon was a wonderful and loving mother, who fondly cherished her children (and eventually grandchildren) as her greatest joys in this life. Throughout her entire life she held an unwavering faith in God. She was gracious, kind, and loving to everyone she knew. She was passionate about praying for her family and her friends and especially enjoyed sharing the love and hope of Jesus with all who came into her life. We are terribly saddened by her passing, but we also know she is now home with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ beginning a new and glorious life! Thank you, Mom, for your unconditional love. You will forever be in our hearts. Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, and by her first husband and her second husband. She is survived by her five children, Laurie Dillard (Duke), Jamie Stovall (Amanda), Leigh Ann O’Quinn (Jeremy), Rob Stovall, Scott Stovall, and her twelve grandchildren Emily (Gio), Hudson, Hayden, Keaton, Colton, Kaylie, Weston, Andrew, Ryan, Kelsey, J, and Landry. Services will be held Saturday, April 2nd at 10:00 AM at Restland Funeral Home and Cemetery in Dallas, TX. Visitation will be Friday, April 1st from 6:00-8:00 PM.
