Sharon was one to always share her mind and opinion with others, known for being a bit of a spitfire.  Her bold and bubbly personality was one to bring a smile to your face.  Known as the Queen Bee at June Bugs, she treasured her friendships there and considered them family.  Sharon was an avid race fan, especially watching her son Allan race motorcycles, attending Nascar races, along with watching them on television.  She was always saying bring me home a trophy.  Sharon treasured the time spent with her family and will be remembered as the best nanny.
