Board
Founder and Board Chair
Sharon Klahm-Hibler
Sharon moved from Weatherford, TX to Granbury, TX in January 2021, upon marrying long time Granbury resident, Jon King. They had both been widowed. They have 7 children and 12 grandchildren between the two of them.
Sharon has a background in education and social services. She has been a teacher, worked with victims suffering from rape, child molestation, domestic violence and most recently served as the Executive Director of Sanctified Hope, a transitional home for women coming directly out of prison. She has always had a heart for working with and helping women.
After she and Jon were married for six months, Sharon retired from Sanctified Hope. Thinking she would relax and enjoy her “golden years”, this “still, small voice” kept nudging her to serve more women. Two nights in a row she had a dream that the Lord told her to start a homeless ministry for women and to name it Mercy Manor. She told Jon about it both mornings but she told God to give her “more signs”. He did. Over and over again!
Through much prayer and a lot of direction from the Lord, Mercy Manor came to be.
