She worked for the Kroger Company where she met her future husband Eddie and then went onto work at WDBJ 7 in Roanoke, Va. She then spent her most rewarding years at home as a wife and mother. Sharon loved the outdoors and spent many hours laboring in her vegetable garden and landscaping her home. She loved to travel and always enjoyed sitting on the porch at the Homestead Resort where she had the talent to make new friends in less than five minutes. She spent her last years living at her beloved home at Claytor Lake. She loved her home on the lake and we are comforted that she spent her remaining moments there as she wished. on February 6, 2018.4
