I knew Sharon longer than we'dboth like to admit and worked with her in numerous different positions at Fred Meyer and later Kroger, she was always cheerful and had a very strong positive outlook on life.Her boys were her pride and joy.
I'll miss those lunches at the Iron Horse and know that you are at peace. God Bless and keep you and your family.

It has been many years since I have seen Sharon, but I hold dear the memories of not only doing business together, but socializing together as well. She was a true professional making my Sales job a lot easier and we enjoyed some great times aside from work.. A wonderful caring mother and friend. Blessings to the family as you cope with your loss.

Sharon was essentially a second mother to me and my sister. Always welcoming, caring, and loving Sharon was to my sister and I. Sharon was also a very genuine and sincere person always talking from the heart. Will miss and always remember you.

I knew Sharon casually through business. I have a shared belief about Sharon that she was a real pro who excelled at whatever kind of job she was given. And she did all of these things with a personable demeanor. Rest in peace Sharon....
