While living in Manchester, Sharon and her husband, Dave, owned and operated Dave's Auto Upholstery for 44 years. She was active as a soldier in the Salvation Army, where she served as Home League Secretary and taught Sunday school. She loved spending time with her family at their camp in Thompson, CT. Upon retiring, Sharon and Dave found heaven on earth in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains in Clemons, NY, between Lake George and Lake Champlain. She enjoyed sewing, quilting and knitting and is especially known for her warm hand-knitted socks, which she made for family and friends. She also loved to cook and was famous for her apple pie and ham puffs. Her favorite verse is from Psalms 118:24 "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Not only did she love this verse, she lived it. Even as her days on earth came near to the end, she found reason to rejoice in all things. She looked forward with great anticipation to spending eternity with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On October 3, 1983, Sharon quit smoking for good, but only after making several failed attempts. She found success in a program through the American Lung Association called "Freedom from Smoking". Sharon would like her personal struggle with smoking to be an encouragement to others, to never give up trying to quit. In lieu of flowers, the family would be honored if memorial contributions could be made in her name to the American Lung Association. (www.lung.org/donate) Cancer took her body from this earth, but it will never take her eternal life, that shall dwell in the hearts and minds of her friends and family, and in the house of the Lord, forever and ever. Amen and Amen.
