Growing up, Sharon had a deep love for music and was proud to be part of her school band. Music remained a cherished part of her life, and she passed on her appreciation for it to those around her. Above all, Sharon loved spending time with her grandchildren. She found joy in watching them succeed and grow, and nothing brought her more happiness than playing games of UNO with them, creating memories that will be treasured forever. Whether cheering them on from the sidelines, watching musical performances or sharing quiet moments together, her pride and love for them were immeasurable. Sharon was also known for her unwavering dedication to her family, especially through the countless hours she spent keeping the scorebook at her daughters' sporting events. Her involvement in her community, particularly through her love of crafting with her sister Becky, brought people together and left a lasting impact.

Sharon's memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her.
