She was preceded in death by her siblings Greg Marquardt and Lorie Lichterman.

Sharon was a devoted caregiver who loved taking care of children. She had a spirited "spitfire" attitude and adored her dogs. She loved to sew and had a green thumb, tending to her garden and planting flowers every year for all to enjoy.

Per her wishes, no funeral or memorial service will be held. Sharon's family and friends will remember her for her love, energy, and warmth she brought to those around her.

Though she will be deeply missed, we take comfort knowing that Sharon has embarked on a new adventure in heaven, where her spirit shines brightly. Her laughter, love, and indomitable spirit will forever live on in the hears of all who knew her.
