I remember when she got her hand caught in the hopper on the snack line. John Shaw was freaking out and Sharon was trying to calm him down. You would have to have been there to believe it. Her laugh was contagious contagious

I referred to Sharon as my "Other Mother", she was always so very good to me and my family. All the kids called her Grandma Sharon as she made each and everyone feel as family! She spread joy and happiness to countless kiddos making possible priceless magical beach trips and happy as a clam dinners! She had worked at Nabisco and her time overlapped when my Mom worked there, those memories she had gave me a feeling of connection and familiarity.Everything about Sharon was special and her selfless love of family and life reflects in her children and grandchildren. I am really gonna miss Crazy Sharon and all the memories she liked to collect. What a kind person Heaven has received!

So sorry to here of Sharon's passing. I remember her in high school, the old Fort. She was a very nice girl with a great smile and laugh. Very witty and smart and a joy to converse with.
Condolences to Sharon's family and friends.

Condolences from Roger and Barbara Telkamp in Brookings. Although there was a great distance and we did not know Sharon well, she was Rogers cousin and we were saddened to learn of her passing. God bless you all.
