Her sister, Linda Thorsland Sweeney, sister, Susan Thorsland Langway and her husband, Michael, and her sister, Kristin Thorsland Pfeffer and her husband, Michael. Sharon also leaves behind many beloved in-laws and adoring nieces and nephews.
Sharon was in financial planning for Fidelity Investments in Nanuet, NY.
Sharon was a dedicated mom who was always there for Brynne and Macie. Whether it was as a class mom in elementary and middle school, project graduation or coaching basketball, Sharon made a point to be present in every way possible. She was enthusiastic and competitive at every game she played. Be it at cards, board games or most recently, her newfound love, pickleball, she loved to be in the mix, even if she was the one that needed to create it.
Sharon had the unique ability of finding a diamond in the rough. She loved to find hidden treasures and had a heart and an eye for seeing the best in everything.

Sharing early mornings at Odyssey Athletic with Sharon was truly special. In our tight-knit 6 a.m. fitness group, she was a constant source of warmth and positivity, always welcoming us with a bright smile and a kind word. Sharon´s love for her family was evident in the way she spoke about them-she truly glowed.
It´s hard to believe she´s gone so soon. My heart goes out to her family during this difficult time. Sharon touched us all, and she´ll be deeply missed.
