Sharon McDonald Dailey

Sharon McDonald Dailey, born March 9, 1942, in Washington, D.C., passed away on August 20, 2025, of natural causes. Her final moments were spent surrounded by family.

Sharon McDonald was the proud daughter of Thomas and Sarah McDonald, raised in Alexandria, Virginia. Sharon was the youngest sister of twins Jean (deceased) and Corley. She is survived by her husband, Robert Dailey, of 41 wonderful years. She is also survived by her sons Renny and Anthony Semprun (and wife Camille), and her granddaughter Julianna Semprun. 

Sharon, also known as “Sherry,” was renowned for her many talents, particularly her exceptional cooking. She loved to entertain, and cooking was her happy place. Sherry took great pride while hosting, and her presentation was flawless. The holidays particularly showcased her most memorable meals. She and Robert started a baking business where her delicious cookies and muffins were shared and enjoyed by many. Sharon was distinctively known for her amazing style and fashion sense. Her life was spent playing tennis and golf, running marathons, teaching Zumba with her friends, enjoying the constant company of her dogs, Bradley, Britta, and Buddy, and spoiling her granddaughter. 

Sharon’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not in the sadness of her passing. Funeral Services will be held at St. Mark Catholic Church in Plano, Texas, on Friday, September 5th, at 10:30 a.m.
