Sharon Tobin

Sharon McCarey Tobin born September 17, 1928 entered Heaven on February 10, 2012. The daughter of Grace and Raymond McCarey, a native Californian, Sharon was raised in Westwood, Beverly Hills and on the beaches of Santa Monica. She was loving, carefree, glamorous to the end and hysterically funny- especially when not trying. She came by this gift naturally, her father having been a director of comedy movies in the 1930’s and 40’s- winning two Academy Awards. His work included The Our Gang Comedies, The 3 Stooges ,Laurel and Hardy and The Little Rascals. She met the love of her life Benjamin Tobin as a young girl and they shared 54 wonderful years of marriage together. She loved being a wife, mother, grandmother and friend- and she was really good at all these things.

Sharon experienced a deep religious enlightenment in her early 50’s- coming to know and love the Lord in a very personal way. She looked forward to seeing her Ben in Heaven and that happy reunion has now taken place. She leaves behind her beloved children: Ben (Kandra), Susan Wesley (Tim), Dede Courtenay (Jim), Tim (Stella) and her much loved grandchildren: BJ and Tarin Tobin, McKenna Wesley, Hannah and Delaney Courtenay and Anton Tobin. Special thanks to Joseph Bruner for his thoughtfulness shown during her final days.
