After she and Harold were married, they made their home in various locations while Harold served in the military. Through the years, they called Wisconsin their home and Sharon was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. Sharon followed the Pentecostal Baptist faith throughout her life. While living in Wisconsin, she was a volunteer with the Meals-on-Wheels program. In her spare time she loved cooking, and made cookbooks of her recipes. She also did crocheting.
