After several moves up the Pacific coast her family eventually landed in Everett, Washington where she and her brother Larry and two sisters, Janice and Judy attended high school. 

While working as a cocktail waitress she met Dick, a fun-loving drummer with a big heart who would become the love of her life. Soon they headed to California in a converted school bus where they lived on the beach in Santa Monica. Within a few years their daughter Suzie was born. They came back to Washington and settled in Renton where they used their school bus as a down payment on the home where Sharon would spend the rest of her years. Soon they had a second child, Todd. Sharon led a charmed life raising her family and many pets, gardening, cooking and entertaining friends. She enjoyed many family vacations with her children and grandchildren to places such as Hell's Canyon, Disneyland, Hawaii, Quebec and many others too numerous to list.
