Sharon attended Chrysler High School and was proud to maintain many high school friendships, enjoying monthly lunches with those special friends. She worked for the Allison Division of General Motors and retired from Rolls Royce after more than 25 years of employment. She was a former member of Kingsway Christian Church and more recently attended Mt. Gilead Church, where she loved being a part of the Yarning for God group. Armed with an adventurous spirit, Sharon loved snowmobiling, jet skiing, boating, but was just as content gardening and crocheting. She also loved the beach and enjoyed many hours of shelling on Sanibel Island. Above all, she was an extremely loving grandma and great grandma – keeping a tradition of taking the great grandchildren out to eat and to pick out a special present on their respective birthdays.
