Sharon McCarey Tobin
Sharon McCarey Tobin, born Sept. 17, 1928, passed away Feb. 10, 2012. The daughter of Grace and Raymond McCarey, a native Californian, Sharon was raised in Westwood, Beverly Hills and on the beaches of Santa Monica.
She was loving, carefree, glamorous to the end and hysterically funny, particularly when not trying. She came by this gift naturally, her father having been a director of comedy movies in the 1930s and ’40s – winning two Academy Awards. His work included the Our Gang Comedies, the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello and The Little Rascals.
She met her husband, Benjamin Tobin, as a young girl, and they shared 54 wonderful years together. She leaves behind her children, Ben (Kandra), Susan Wesley (Tim), Dede Courtenay (Jim) and Tim (Stella), and grandchildren BJ and Tarin Tobin, McKenna Wesley, Hannah and Delaney Courtenay and Anton Tobin.
