I was a fellow classmate - class of 72 from Davis County High School in Bloomfield and wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Sharon's family and friends. She was the nicest person and I remember her very fondly. I am sorry we did not keep in touch over the years because I always thought very highly of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

Family:
What great evidence of a life lived as a multiplier of blessings as a mate, Mom, and teacher. What courage facing down life-threatening disease twice for herself and once with her daughter. That is an AMAZING legacy of courage and determination. No doubt on her arrival in Heaven, she heard "Well done, my good and faithful servant!" from her Lord.
Praying for you all.
Ephesians 2:10

I was a classmate of Sharon's at Davis County Community High School in Bloomfield. I fondly remember Sharon as a wonderful young lady who always had a smile and would always say "hello" when she met you at school or on the street. She was a very thoughtful, considerate person who always made everyone's day brighter. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I was also a classmate of Sharon’s at Davis County High School in Bloomfield, Iowa. I wanted to take time to express my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Sharon’s. Sharon was very quiet and reserved during high school but she always had a smile and a simple hello for everyone in school. She always acted with dignity and class and frankly was everything I wish I was and could become.
My prayers and thoughts are with her family and I hope fond memories of her special personality brings joy to anyone who thinks of her during this difficult time.

I graduated in 1972 with Sharon and like most of us did not stay in touch over the years. I work in a office where I had the pleasure of occasionally waiting on Sharon's parents and fortunately was given updates on the family. She will be missed but never forgotten.
God Bless all of you !
