Not sure what to say?

Sharon was a beautiful, gracious lady. She had a great heart and made those around her feel special.

I have many years of memories with Sharon from chatting online for the very first time, water skiing, going to St. Louis to various places all when she lived in Pawnee. She was an amazing cousin that I did not have the pleasure to meet until my teens but we grew very close. Sharon and I have the same birthday so I always think about her when its my birthday as she was 22 years older then me but you would never know it as she was always so active and fun!!! I hope you RIP Sharon, I love you...

Going to miss you lady!! Thr best neighbors a family could have EVER asked for!!!!

One of the most beautiful and kind hearted ladies one could ever meet.

I’ll always be here smiling up to you crazy lady! Till we see you again, keep the wonderful smile shining!!

My beautiful, smart and wonderful friend I will miss you Sharon. Sending the family prayers at this time

RIP Ms Sharon
I met you when I lived behind you in Deerfield subdivision. We had some great times. Our trip to Florida and the condo we rented and you fixed Jason and family dinner. Yummy as always.
Our mini vacation to Branson great time there.
The thanksgiving dinner you fixed your family and invited me. All I have now is memories and pictures. You my friend will bring missed by so many. Until we meet again.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I met Sharon so many years ago when she worked in the lab at SIU and I was a nurse in the SIU clinics. We became fast friends and I convinced her to move to Pawnee where I lived at that time. We had so many years of great friendship and watching our children grow. Life brought changes and I moved and we lost contact. I was blessed to know Sharon she was an amazing friend, mother, so loving, giving and caring. I will cherish my memories of her forever....

Joe and Barb,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. May the good Lord bless you and yours. Nancie

Sharon and I did our things starting in kindergarten all the way through Sacred Heart up until today. She was my good friend like a sister. I’m gonna miss talking to her.
Prayers for the family

I worked with her at Springfield Clinic and Memorial Hospital! We called her Boza! She was a very wonderful woman! I love her like a sister. She will be missed but heaven got another Angel! She had a singing voice like an Angel! See you later!
