Sharon was born in Weatherford, Texas in 1954 and later attended Texas Tech University where she met the love of her life, best friend and soul mate, Richard Allen Martin while he was stationed at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas. They secretly eloped in 1976 and later welcomed a daughter, Misty, in 1980, followed by another daughter, Tiffany, in 1985.
Sharon was a devoted Christian, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Sharon was a woman of many passions which included traveling, shopping, cooking, baking, scuba diving/snorkeling, music, ministry, and later in life, her grandchildren, whom she was so proud of and loved so much.
