Sharon embraced life and tradition.  She loved people.  Family and friends were the center of her world; she was a devoted neighbor and parishioner.  Sharon dedicated 13 years to teaching elementary classes in the St. Louis Archdiocesan school system. Interacting with and instructing young children brought her much joy and fulfillment.  Throughout her life, Sharon valued her long and caring relationship with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.
