Although, Sharon would tell you her first love was her savior; she adored her husband, cherished her children and looked forward to time with grandchildren. She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Where she served in the temple for two years and could recite almost any scripture. She loved the arts, crafts, every animal imaginable and the beauty of nature. She received her Bachelors from Western Illinois University where she majored in history. Her focus in history came from her in depth interest of the Native Americans. She volunteered her time to the scouting organization where she would spend many summers at camp.
