Sharon Jo Callner

Just learned of Sharon's passing. Sharon was a talented and dedicated artist who shared her gifts with all of us. The friendship we shared through our formative years is an important part of our lives. We know that Sharon is missed not only by those who loved her, but by all of us who knew her.

This past New's Year's Eve as we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversity we reflected on memories of our favorite past ones. This includes sitting in our sunroom with Sharon talking while Stew...

We just recently heard about the passing of this wonderful lady. My husband, Dick, was Sharon's step-brother and in just recent years they reconnected via email. When Sharon was married to her first husband, we all shared holiday meals at her mother's house. I well remember some evenings or should I say late at night when everyone else had gone to bed and Sharon and I sat up talking until we both started drifting off. As we live in Australia and have for about 35...

Sharon was a beautiful soul, she was very loving and kind. Although she was my figure drawing professor, she was a wonderful mentor to her students. I had the honor of being in Sharon's class and enjoyed her immensely. Sharon reminded me of how precious life can be. She will be missed. We offer our deepest sympathy to all who were touched by Sharon's presence. Yannick, Angela, and Artist Williams

I knew Sharon first when we were in college. She was my friend. Then for some reason she was given a chance to teach figure drawing for the younger students and I was in her class. I hadn't had much experience in drawing and none with figures so I was glad she was my teacher. She was a fabulous teacher and I learned more about drawing a figure from her than from the 2 college art teacher! She was always meant to be teacher! She was a wonderful supportive friend. A loving Mom. I miss her........

All our love. She was a warm human being who touched my life for the better. We will miss her very much. -Janna Hawkins (Sam, Sal, and Sonia)
