I’ve known Sharon since I was 3 years old. Lived next door to her and spent almost as much time in her home with Tonya as I did my own while growing up. I moved away from home and a couple years later bought my first house that turned out being about a mile away from where Sharon was living on Greenholly. Started working at St. Mary’s in IT and Sharon worked there in registration. A few years ago we moved to a new house and Sharon moved into Orchid Terrace about a mile away. Life has kept us close for so many years. I miss playing bingo with her, I miss her joy, and I miss her smile. All my love to her family.
I am a manager at Orchid Terrace Senior Living. Sharon was such a kind lady. I miss her smile in the dining room. And, I miss seeing her at the activities. She is a beloved lady and will truly be missed.
