Sharon was born July 4, 1961, in Clinton, N.C., the daughter of Curlie and Minnie (Bassett) Lockamy. She was married to Allen Lusk. Sharon worked at Walmart on Blairs Ferry Road. She was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma over nine years ago, but was always smiling no matter how bad her day. Her love and spirit will be greatly missed.
She was preceded in death by her father, Curlie; and the family dog, Dee.
A very special thank you to the wonderful people at Walmart, the hospice house, Darlene Schmitt at the Free Clinic, and Dr. Lynk at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
