Sharron was a member of South Side Christian Church in Springfield where many were blessed through her lovely and powerful singing. She lived a life wrapped in the love of Jesus and in service to her God by caring about others. She saw the good in everyone and sent countless cards to cheer, comfort, and bless-all with her extra-special handwritten notes in side. Her family cherished the memories of her faithful love for all, which was rooted in Jesus' faithful love for her; and they are comforted by the assurance that she is now resting in Him. "blessed are the dead which die in the Lord...that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them" (Revelation 14:13)
