Sharon’s soul was very adventurous and lived a fulfilling life. Many memories were from going to country concerts, ladie’s night with the her church friends and of course going to the Church of Christ. She loved fishing, playing wahoo, dominoes and loved yard sales. One of her favorite things was to take care of her little patio garden and would sit outside for hours watering the plants and reading her books. When visiting Rusty in Hawaii, she brought back her proudest possession “The Plumeria Tree”! She cared and nurtured two little stalks into three beautiful blooming Plumeria trees. She was so proud of them.
