Sharon Ann Barber

My dear Aunt Sharon...how sad I am to learn of your passing as I searched for you and found your obituary. Decades ago, my Mom, Rose Ifflander, and Sharon attended college in pursuit of their elementary education degrees. Aunt Sharon used to visit us in FL as she always enjoyed getting away from Buffalo's winters. I remember her taking beach sand back to Buffalo! So many fond memories of Aunt Sharon. I still have some of the children's books she gave me from my childhood. Soo sad we didn't have a reunion before it was too late. Sending loving prayers to your family, Aunt Sharon.

Sharon was one of the most thoughtful people I have ever known.

Sharon was a wonderful, loyal and dear friend. I didn't hear from her at Christmas or my birthday or Easter.I was going to call her to tell her Happy Birthday because of Dennis being sick I didn't send a card. There was no answer.I googled her name and see she has passed away. We met in Lenscrafters when we were both waiting for our glasses.She said we have to wait at least an hour, how would you like to join me for lunch.Dennis and I both liked her and said sounds great. We were very close friends for the 3 yrs that followed when we lived in Mesa. When we returned to CA we kept in touch via letters,emails and phone calls. The picture used on her obituary is one I had taken at our home in Mesa. Sharon said it was her favorite picture of her. She will always have a special place in my heart. She adored Dennis Gray. Sharon was a single retired school teacher. She was so much fun.

Sharon was a friend of my mom's. Though I had never met her, she was faithful in sending us Christmas cards and birthday cards to my children. When she said she was praying for us, I knew she meant that. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, and am sad I will never meet her this side of heaven.

We have fond memories of Sherrie and so glad she had what appears to be 20 wonderful years of retirement in Arizona. We're not surprised by her generosity.
