In 1958, she married Jimmie White. Two children were born of this union, Jacqueline (White) Brown and James White. The marriage ended in divorce. In 1969, Sharon married Sam Davis. One child was born of this union, Charles (Chuck) Davis. Sharon also received three stepchildren from Sam, Samuel Davis, Alisa (Davis) Payton, and Ruthann (Davis) (Whelchel) Nichols.
