Sharron worked as an administrative assistant throughout her life ending her career with the Cass County State’s Attorney’s Office where she made many great memories and friends in the 10 years she worked there.

Sharron was a loving mother and grandmother, who enjoyed spending countless hours with her son Bill, daughter-in-law Stephanie, grandson Will, and granddaughter Ellie. She was so thankful and proud of her family.

Sharron, in her free time, loved nothing more than to cook for her family, often times inviting them over for dinner and games or a movie on the weekends. Sharron also loved painting and teaching her grandchildren how to paint and draw.

Sharron was an incredible person who was the definition of kindness, integrity and humility. She truly cared for others and was always ready with great advice for someone who asked. The way in which Sharron lived her life set a great example for others.

Sharron walked in the assurance of the living savior Jesus. She sought to follow Him. Sharron was a true care giver, prayer warrior, kind giving heart, listening ear, giver of encouragement, and friend.
