Sharon loved to pick huckleberries and did that until she was 83 years old. She kept an immaculate house and yard. She liked gardening and tending to her flowers. She loved traveling to Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean with family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the highlight of her life.
