Born Sept. 14, 1938, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sharon moved to Phoenix in 1972.
She was a beloved mother, grandmother and great- grandmother. She enjoyed living in Phoenix, going to Arizona Diamondback baseball games and sharing those experiences with her family. She loved spending time at the beach with her sister in Cabo and eating catfish with her brothers while they all reminisced about the good old days. Sitting out in her Arizona room was one of her greatest pleasures.
She will be missed.
