Sharon proudly received her high school diploma at the age of 51 and then reinvented herself as a CNA providing love and care for countless patients over the next 20 years of her life. Sharon's strong will, incredible work ethic, and unwavering love and dedication made a lasting impact on all the patients, friends, and family members that she cared for.

Sharon’s hobbies included crocheting, canning, and going to auctions/yard sales. However, Sharon being a strong-willed woman ,enjoyed sharing her advice and opinions often and loudly for all those she loved. She was the person who made frequent visits to stock up her families pantries and lives with all the treasures she had found. Sharon enjoyed “Chicken Day” at the Hannibal Nutrition Center. She would gather her scraps (and everyone else’s)  for her precious pup Harley. Sharon’s passion in life was no doubt her family.
