She became a member of the United Lutheran Church in 1978. Sharon retired in 2011 from FBG, where she worked in Human Resources. Sharon and Bob were able to spend more time together going on trips, and spending time with their friends and family. Sharon enjoyed spending time with her grandkids baking, crafting, and going to anything they had going on. She saw a lot of football, band and hockey.
Sharon loved quilting and cross stitching, she played any game available with whoever wanted to play, she loved her chocolates, and Christmas baking was the best. Sharon will be missed by her family and friends. Until we see her again, she will be watching over us.
Thank you Sharon, for making our lives better with your presence.
