The memory of our last outing with Sharon and Butch is etched in my mind …the proud tour of Auburn and the surrounding area as only Sharon could give. It really was a mini-synopsis of her life. She proudly spoke of her siblings and growing up there. I am sure that her rural grounding and strong family ties helped to forge Sharon’s kind, caring and generous personality. She was such a happy, upbeat lady…a pleasure to know and a treasure of a friend. Our deepest sympathy to Butch, Rob, Sandy & Aiden and Mike, Christine and Breanna. She was a good woman.
