Sharon Kay Cummings, the daughter of Roy and Lenora "Jo" (Wicker) Cummings, was born February 2, 1947, in Des Moines, IA, joining her twin sisters Marilyn and Carolyn. The family moved to Crystal lake, IA, for a few years in her early childhood and then to Belmond, IA.

Sharon was baptized and a attended the Belmond United Methodist Church. She attended Belmond Community Schools and graduated from Belmond High School in the Class of 1965. She was a cheerleader during her school years and carried this passion for her beloved community throughout her entire life.

Sharon was united in marriage to Kenneth Skrovig, on June 24, 1968, at the Belmond United Methodist Church. The couple's union was blessed with three beautiful daughters: Cyndi, Myndi, and Lyndi. Following their marriage the couple resided in Clarion, IA, where they raised their girls and Ken was employed for Wright County REC (today's Prairie Energy Co-op) and Sharon was employed as office manager for Wright County Public Health from the late 1970's until early 2000's, when she retired to care for Ken during his health decline. Following his death Sharon continued to live in Clarion before returning to Belmond where she has lived since.

Sharon was proud of her roles as a loving wife, mom, and grandma and all that came with these special titles. Sharon and Kenneth enjoyed dancing excursions, attending their daughters many activities and traveling in their motorhome. A few of their destinations included Montana, Tennesee, and Florida, and more local get-aways to Lake Cornelia and Brushy Creek. A favorite trip was when they went to Hawaii.

Sharon had a strong faith life and instilled this value in her children. She and Kenneth and the family had attended First Lutheran Church, Clarion, Samuel Lutheran Church, Eagle Grove and following her return to Belmond following her husband's passing, Sharon attended the Belmond United Methodist Church.

Sharon truly was a cheerleader for all of her family and looked forward to any occasion that they would be together. She loved to attend as many of her daughters and grandchildrens' activities as she possibly could. She was very much a people person, who loved to keep up on the happenings of her family and friends. She always turned the focus on others and not herself. Sharon was very meticulous and a lady of routine, who loved her home, flowers, watching her favorite shows, daily phone call check-ins with her family and friends, and her cat "Debbie". In addition to being involved in her churches, she was a past member of Culture Club, Garden Club, and the Clarmond Country Club.

Those who had the privilege of knowing her will reflect fondly upon her love for others, light hearted and quirky sense of humor, boundless forgiveness, and her trademark' "I Adore You!" as she parted ways from a visit with whomever.
