Sharon had a smile that could light up a room and a laugh that was infectious. She was the life of the party and she thoroughly enjoyed cooking and entertaining family and friends. Sharon was a woman of God and she never met a stranger. She was a welcoming space for so many who needed a listening ear, encouragement, inspiration, prayer, or just needed someone to be there for them. She loved shopping, listening to music and singing in the church choir where she praised God with everything she had.

Sharon's greatest love was her family, who were her everything. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and was the pillar of her family. Sharon strived to give her family the very best of herself. She was a best friend, confidant, and vessel of wisdom to her husband, daughters and grandchildren.
