Alvera Sharp

 Alvera (Al) Crockett Sharp was a gift to Rachel Crockett and Thomas Jefferson Wallace (TJ) She was the youngest of three children. She grew up in a loving family surrounded by other family members. She attended and graduated from the Chicago, Illinois schools. After high school, Alvera studied computer technology, worked in banking and sales.

In the 1980’s Alvera moved to Omaha to care for her mother until Rachel made her transition. In 1999 Alvera married Tyrone Sharp and moved to Florida, purchasing a home and living in the small community of Inverness. After this union ended, she moved to Springfield, Ohio where she lived until July 2024. Upon returning to Omaha, she began reuniting with friends she had worked with at a company called DTN.
