Sharon was very devoted to her family and loved her husband, Eddie, immensely. They were married on March 17, 1973 in Elkhart.

Sharon was a very social lady and never knew a stranger. She had the ability to brighten up a room and bring joy to everyone she talked to. She loved to dance, read, and sew, but most of all she loved her family, especially her grandchildren. Sharon will be missed greatly by her loving family and many friends.
