Sharon was very organized at her home and in her life. She had a very special relationship with her son, Jason; she made lunch for the two of them every day. Sharon enjoyed reading, word find puzzles, crossword puzzles and playing scratch-offs, lottery and the casino. When her grandchildren started into sports and school events, she never missed; she was very proud of her grandchildren. At Christmas time Sharon enjoyed making fruit cake, chocolate covered cherries, and putting together ginger bread houses with her grandchildren. She will be lovingly remembered by the Christmas ornaments she bought for her grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Each spring Sharon loved to teach her grandchildren how to properly plant a beautiful flower garden at their home.
