Sharon loved to be involved in sports, from her high school days of cheerleading to her many years of service as a volleyball and softball official. Her greatest joys in life were her faith in Jesus Christ and love for her family. Her favorite moments were those spent with her children, grandchildren, and her sisters, who were her best friends; cheering at her family members' sporting events; and arts, crafts, reading, and baking with her grandchildren. She was a member of Cottage Hill Baptist Church and a faithful participant in Dayspring's Bible Study Fellowship.
