Sharon loved her family deeply. She was very passionate about dogs and animals and worked at PetsMart in Bridgeton for several years before retiring as a medical records clerk at SSM Health Orthopedics in 2010. In her younger years, she was very active in the PTA, was a Girl Scout Leader, and room mother for Carol’s classroom. She was a proud member of the Bridgeton Citizens on Patrol along with her husband. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, and favorite vacations included Hawaii in 1986, and a Carribean cruise for their 25th anniversary in 1991. Later, Alan and Sharon bought an RV and enjoyed trips to Branson, Florida, and Michigan to name a few. She and Alan were true partners, even spending quality time together building and decorating a miniature dollhouse. There is great comfort in knowing they are now joined together forever.
