On January 3, 1964, she was united in marriage to Harold Joseph Crider, and to this union one daughter and two sons were born.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of forty-two years, Harold, on September 4, 2006; two brothers, James and Charles Hart; and a sister, Jennie Lein.

She was raised in Wisconsin, where she attended and graduated from La Farge, Wisconsin Schools. 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. Her life rotated around her family and she especially enjoyed having time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
