Sharla D Wallin

Sharla Diane Wallin, 67, of Mountain View, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on September 4, 2026.

Sharla was born on November 21, 1958, in Houston, Texas, to Billy Mac and Flora Lee (Taylor) Wade. She grew up and attended school in Texas and was the third of four children.

Sharla was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend whose presence brought warmth wherever she went. She had one daughter, Desirai, whom she loved dearly, and she cherished traveling and making memories with her daughter and grandchildren. Those adventures, both big and small, were among the moments she treasured most.

Sharla was a creative and gentle soul who loved to paint and draw. She had a deep appreciation for nature and found happiness in its simple beauty. Her beloved pets held a special place in her heart, as did a good cup of coffee and quiet time. She also had a wonderful sense of humor and always knew how to make her family laugh.

For 24 years, Sharla worked as a cashier at Walmart, where she genuinely enjoyed being around people. She formed connections with countless customers and coworkers over the years. She always had a smile for everyone, and her kindness and friendly nature made people feel welcome.

Sharla found joy in ordinary moments and had a way of making them special. She was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, artist, and adventurer whose laughter and warmth will be remembered always by her family and friends.

Sharla is survived by her daughter, Desirai Holsted and husband, Clint, of Mountain View, Oklahoma; grandchildren, Malachi Dresselhaus of Norman, Oklahoma, and Inara and Elowyn Holsted of Mountain View, Oklahoma; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Billy Mac Wade and Flora Lee Taylor; sisters, Vicki Durgan and Sandy Leuschner; brother, Randall Wade; and niece, Valerie Leuschner.

Sharla leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter, creativity, and cherished memories that will remain with all who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Under the direction of Ray & Martha's Funeral Home, Mountain View, OK
