A self-proclaimed “Flower Child”, Sharon served her community as a social worker for 42 years. Sharon was loved by everyone who met her and stayed in touch with friends she made over the years. She loved cats, Coca-Cola’s, Little Debbies, the mountains, concerts, snow and water skiing, telling stories, her grand girls, and most of all, connecting with her family and friends. Sharon was a great listener and a true friend to all. Sharon was so many things; she was a mother, daughter, sister, best friend, Christian, and a person you could always rely on. She will be dearly missed by all of us here on Earth, but we can take comfort in knowing that she is reunited with her husband in Heaven. The graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at Shady Valley Memorial Gardens with Pastor Richard Stout officiating.
