After graduation, she attended a technical college in Boulder, Colorado and went on to work for a magazine distribution company using her technical skills. Sharon then went on to work for a Salt Lake auto insurance company, and then made a career working for Tooele County, JTPA program to help those in need. She worked in tandem with her sister, Loretta working on many community projects. Some of these projects include starting the first women's conference, a march down Main Street to protest for better jobs for women, starting the first Tooele Arts Festival, implementing the first seasonal banners along Main Street, and coordinating fundraising for an electric wheelchair for a dear friend.

They loved their time with their friends and the residents of this quaint town. They would frequently hike the surrounding mountains to take in all the wonders that nature provides.
