Sharon enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing and camping. She enjoyed her Saturday mornings going to garage sales. Not only was she a caregiver in her career but also when it came to animals. She would often care for and feed any stray cat or dog that she came across, as well as her own dog, Copper. Sharon cherished the moments spent with her dad going to K-State football games together. Nothing in life compared to the love she had for her grandchildren, who were the light of her life.
