Sharon Marsal Bilbo

Sharon Anne Marsal Bilbo, age 82, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, went home to be with her Lord on Monday, February 2, 2026, surrounded by family and friends. Born on September 20, 1943, Sharon was a lifelong source of joy, faith, and light to all who knew her.

A native of Mobile, Alabama, Sharon attended Bishop Toolen Catholic School and later Spring Hill College, where her love of learning and the arts flourished. An avid reader with a lifelong curiosity, she also brought her sharp mind and dedication to the Associated Reporters of Baton Rouge, serving as office manager for many years.

Sharon was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Charlie, and a loving mother to her children, Brad and Laura. Nothing brought her greater joy than her grandchildren, Charles and Seth, who were truly the light of her life.

A faithful member of Community Bible Church, Sharon loved her church deeply and shared her faith boldly. She never met a stranger and took every opportunity to pray for those in need. She had a rare gift for filling a room with laughter, warmth, and life. Sharon lived fully in the moment, loved deeply, laughed often, and touched countless lives along the way.

Sharon was preceded in death by her husband, Charles E. Bilbo; their son, Bradley A. Bilbo; her parents, Marcelino A. Marsal and Marguerite Reynolds; and her sisters, Margie Marsal Nicolson, Catherine Marsal West, Joyce Marsal Guth, Patricia Marsal Vetter, and her brother, Marceline A. “Bubba” Marsal.

She is survived by her daughter, Laura and her husband, Gary Comeaux, of Baton Rouge; her grandchildren, Charles Bilbo (Eliza) and Seth Comeaux (Madi); as well as numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.

Sharon’s legacy is one of faith, love, generosity, and joy. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered by all those blessed to know her.
