Sharon loved to travel, especially with her daughter. She could often be found wearing a “Life is Good” t-shirt while eating chocolate, rinsing it down with a diet soda, all while listening to Elvis croon. She loved her little poodles, Silver, Penny, and Harley. Sharon was always willing to help others, her kindness and generosity were a shining example for her family. She enjoyed being a Mom more than anything, not only to Gina, but to her friends and also to her niece, Alicia. She will be deeply missed by her family.
