Sharon Lilly

Burger

Sharon Lilly Burger, 72 of Marietta, passed away surrounded by her family on November 12, 2026. She was born on March 21, 1954, in Austell but grew up in Dallas, Georgia. She attended Dallas Elementary School and Paulding County High School.

Sharon met Jr, the love of her life, at Burger’s Market where her mom, our Nanny worked. They fell in love, married, raised three kids, and worked hard to turn a small family-owned market into a very successful business that thrived in our community for many decades that became way more than just a produce stand. Customers became friends and friends that turned into family. Mom was the heart of our market. To know her was to love her; she was truly an angel who was so very loved by everyone that got the pleasure of knowing her. She was always such a bright light.

Some of her favorite things were ice cream, silly string in our stockings which became one of our most treasured Christmas memories, family beach trips, beach sunsets, sharing her crab claws, her mini-Christmas village, snow, snowmen, and lastly Christmas was her absolute favorite. She loved celebrating Jesus and his birth. But the loves of her life were her kids and her grandkids.

She loved everyone and had a prayer list a mile long. She never met a stranger, and she always made you feel like you were a part of our family. She had a heart like Jesus and lived like him every single day. She was one loved lady who left her mark on this community and everyone she came into contact with.

Most people called her Nanny, Momma, or Momma Burger. What gave her the most joy was her family, kids, and grandkids. Nanny was the matriarch of our family; she was the center of our world. She is survived by her loving husband, Jr Burger and their four children, Sharilyn (Jason) Turner, Tina (Anthony) Berry, Jay (Sarah) Burger, Becky (Paul) Lukaskiewicz, and their grandkids, Lauren and Owen Turner, Peyton and Pressley Berry, Bayley and Kole Burger, and Samantha and Jessica Lukaskiewicz. Sister Jo Womack, and brother R.W. Daniel. She was proceeded in death by her parents, Vivian and Douglas Pace and brother Howard Eugene Daniel.

Alzheimer’s is an awful disease, and it took so much from her, but it never took her smile or her light that shined so brightly. Although our hearts are broken, we know she was deeply loved. She adored her children and thought the world of all of her grandchildren.

Funeral services will be at 2:00pm on Sunday, November 15th at Piedmont Church at 570 Piedmont Rd in Marietta with Dr. Ike Reighard officiating.
