Those who wish to remember Sharon in a special way should choose to remember her as someone who was a devoted friend and aunt, she never met a stranger, never met a slot machine or leather jacket she did not like, could beat you at any card game, and if QVC sold it, she owned it. She adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren and loved them endlessly and they did her. She loved the same man for 57 years and enjoyed traveling with him and keeping him in line while keeping up with friends and grandchildren. She kept her family united through tremendous loss and is now at rest.
