Elizabeth D. Sharpton, 76, a resident of Daytona Beach, passed away on Tuesday, October 8 ^th in Port Orange, Fl.  Elizabeth, or "Babe" as she was known by family and friends, was born to Howard and Mary Simmons on March 22, 1943 here in Daytona Beach, FL. A true Daytona native, Babe attended local schools and graduated from Mainland High School. Babe was a long time member of White Chapel Church of God in South Daytona, and spent many years serving our local youth at Warner Christian Academy and Atlantic High School working in both their cafeterias. When not at work, Babe could usually be found tinkering in the garden with her plants and flowers; she also enjoyed sewing and arts and crafts, especially for the holidays, creating many lasting memories for her family to cherish. Babe was predeceased by her parents and sister, Billie Jean Kennedy. She leaves behind her son, Troy and wife Kathy Sharpton, daughter Kim Sharpton, brother Hoppy Simmons, her sister Muffet Murrell, and her six grandchildren; Tara, Troy Ashley, Gage, Dodge, Trace, and Dillon.
