Sharon’s exact year of birth is debated. However, she was born on Feb. 22, possibly in 1941, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Throughout her life, she was an award-winning dog breeder, professional seamstress, commercial truck driver, Civil War reenactor, caretaker; but most importantly, a loving mother and grandmother. She is survived by her siblings: Steve, Randy, Linda and Tamara; her children, John and Lisa; as well as a small army of grandchildren: Patrick, Sarah, Rachel, Mellisa, Bethany and Chavah; and three great-grandchildren, Annemarie, Charlotte and Erick.
