She taught Art at Northeast High School for 34 years and was an avid member of Gallery 9. Her family always came first but it was not uncommon to see her at the gallery or catch her talking politics with her many friends.

Siblings Ginger Lacy, Sonjia (Gary) Mayfield, Lyle (Cindy) Lacy, Gary (Diana) Lacy, David (Janelle) Lacy. She is preceded in death by her husband Bernie, parents Marvin and Julia Lacy, and granddaughter Lilly B Cech.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sharon's passing. I had been working with her on a commissioned art piece. She was so excited about it and even got started on it when she got sick. She was so sweet in all of our communications and just wanted to send my condolences.

Sharon and I were colleagues and friends At Northeast High School years ago.... her effervescent nature extended empathy and care to those she loved, and she was always a sympathetic, interactive listener. I´m so happy that I have a couple of her paintings....her unique art was filled with whimsy and color and fantasy. She will surely be missed by many.

Without Mrs. Cech and art, I probably wouldn't have graduated from high school. She was and is a great energy.
