When her children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces were competing in sports, she could be found in the stands cheering them on. Along with her husband "Big Ray", she enjoyed spending weekends at their cottage on Christie Lake in Michigan and eventually their home on Lake Shafer in Monticello. She was a Red Hat Lady, a volunteer at the White County Food Pantry, and a founding member of Women for Women in White County. Sharon played softball in her younger years on the Stanley Styles Women's Softball Team and she enjoyed bowling, fishing, playing cards, watching football and NASCAR, and spending time with her family and friends especially during birthdays and holidays. In 2011, Sharon suffered a stroke and her and Big Ray made the decision to move back to be closer to their sons, settling in Crown Point.
