Sharon was a 1969 graduate of the Bald Eagle Nittany High School and was a part of their class reunion committee, participating in and organizing routine meetings and gatherings, in addition to their reunions.
After graduating, she served as secretary to the school guidance counselor for a number of years. She then became a professional homemaker after being surprised with twins in the delivery room. Mike and Jess kept her very busy throughout their earlier years and she was involved in all of the groups and activities that they participated in.
Sharon was also an avid bowler and belonged to one of the local bowling leagues for many years in her younger days.
Sharon and her husband have been active members of the St. Mark Lutheran Church, of Howard, Pa., for over 40 years. Sharon was the superintendent of the Sunday school program for many years and has enjoyed contributing her time to all of the church activities, including choir, fellowship gatherings, fundraisers and charities.
She was also a member of the Stonecroft Christian Woman's Group and participated in their gatherings.
Sharon had a great love for animals, birds, wildlife, nature and the human spirit. She supported many charities far and wide over the years, always wanting to contribute anything she could to anyone or anything needing help. She believed in supporting all organizations for those who are less fortunate or struggling in any way.
Sharon really looked forward to someday re-uniting with her beloved fur-baby, Trixie, her furry grand-baby, Roxie, the two little long-haired Chihuahua sisters from Florida.
Sharon loved to travel and would have moved to the beach if she could have. She has gone on several cruises and she particularly loved Sanibel Island in Florida, the shelling capital of the world, Miramar Beach, Fla., and Ocean City, Md.
Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family. Interment will be in the Sunnyside Cemetery, Mill Hall, Pa. There will be a Celebration of Life in the near future.
