She grew up on a beautiful farm with her parents and older sister Marcy. She resided in Delano her entire life.

Sharon was known for her amazing memory and thoughtful listening. She was the keeper of all stories and secrets of the past. She had an infectious giggle and loved to be with her family, cousins, friends and beautiful cat, Cali.
