Our family was lucky enough to be neighbors of Sharon & Keith from Roseville, and we completely agree with Patricia O'Neill about what wonderful neighbors and friends they were. Thank you O'Neills for keeping Keith in your fine company at a time when he'll need it.

Sharon was beautiful, inside and out. What brought her joy was Keith, Mark, Beth and their families. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many. She was so much more.

We will miss her but never forget her. Knowing she is with Chris is the only consolation for our broken hearts.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you who loved her.

We are new next door neighbors to Sharon and Keith since September 2018 and in the short time I've known Sharon she probably was the sweetest lady I have ever met. She made you feel like you have known her your whole life.

I "adopted" Sharon and Keith as my mom and dad. We loved having cocktails out on the patio with both of them. I am going to miss that lady so much, but we will continue with our cocktails with Keith.

Was looking forward to golfing with her this summer and will remember the time we had cocktails at our house and then went to our association Christmas party she just was full of life and just a sweetheart.

She loved Keith dearly and they were very very close she talked fondly about their children and grand children .

I remember on Mother's Day after church they were leaving to go to their granddaughters for brunch and I remarked how cute they looked they both had white pants on and kind of blue shirts and wished I would have taken a picture. I said "boy you two clean up well" she laughed but they looked adorable if anyone has that picture can you send it to me?

She loved giving my Ron grief as he would tease her. She could hold her own with anyone.

Rest in peace my sweet Sharon

Sharon will be missed for so many things - the twinkle in her eyes, her sense of humor, her outstanding quilting skills and sense of color. As she was a long time member of the Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild, we mourn the loss of this special friend and woman. My sympathy to her family.
