Sharon was always spontaneous and so much fun. She enjoyed life and lived it well. I am sorry she won't make our 60th reunion in Oct. She will be missed. My prayers are with you all.

I've known Sharon, Ed, and the kid's since 1980. What a beautiful family Sharon and Ed created! Sharon was such a proud mother and grandmother. She will be truly missed. My prayers go out to the family knowing your mother is now at peace in God's hands.
God bless you all!

I worked with Sharon for the 4 years I was with the former Lincoln National Bank back in the late 70s. I remember her fondly as pleasant, professional, and always with a smile on her face. May she rest in peace.
