Sharon was a graduate of North Carolina State University with degrees in Political Science and Sociology. She advocated for battered women and worked in the past with Interact in Raleigh and Duke. While Sharon did not have children, everyone who knew her knew how much she loved her dog, Isis. She loved Duke Basketball, WWE wrestling and the Dallas Cowboys. Sharon had a big personality and an infectious laugh that demanded attention in any room. While she departed her loved ones here on earth too soon, she's rejoicing with her Mighty King and reuniting with her Daddy in heaven.
