Sharon has touched many lives in many ways with the talents she was gifted and blessed with.
I loved having her for a friend, an aunt and living right next to her. Many wonderful memories to cherish. We will truly miss her and her presence.
Sharon will celebrate the best Christmas ever with Jesus and those who have gone before us.
Love you, Seana, Rhetta, Justin and your families

Sharon was such a talented woman and go getter. My mom loved working with .her in the welfare office and the fun they had after hours. Her energy was palpable. She hired me to type during the summer months when I was in school. I have fond memories of that time.

I'm so sorry about Sharon and for your loss. Sharon and I went WAY back--to high school actually. Although she was older than I, we sure had fun!! I'd drive to Culbertson and stay with her and her girlfriends for an overnighter at her parent's home--then on other nights they'd all come to Sidney and stay with me. I've forgotten some of the names, but I remember that one was going steady with my brother--Carol Ann Sinclaire. I probably didn't spell that correctly, but I understand she ow owns some place to eat in Culbertson. Sharon was a beauty inside but also very much so on the outside. WOW--I think (?) she ran for something once--Miss NE Montana maybe. I may be wrong--my memory isn't what it used to be. Sharon had a good and full life and I'm sure left no regrets. God is with you all in this time of sorry. Yours in Christ--Sandi Beagle Angel

Sharon was my boss when I was a Social Worker in Sidney back in 1975-77. She was a lovely lady and a wonderful boss....so sorry to hear of her passing.

Sharon was a great friend. We spent many hours having lunch together, working on 4H programs and working at Rau School. She was blessed with so much talent. I visited her in Billings and we watched Grizzly football. May all your good memories keep her forever in your hearts. I know she is forever in mine.

Loads of love and prayers,
Tom and Anita Scheetz

Sharon will always be remembered as one remarkable lady!

It was our good fortune for School District #21 to have Sharon available to serve many years as the clerk (or E.O.) of the Rau School Board during some very trying times - - the design & building of our new Rau School building, a time requiring increasing forms and reporting, added paperwork for job requirements - more employees than ever ... and Sharon kept us one step ahead of everything. Thorough, efficient, concise, leading the board through the new challenges, ... and always with a positive attitude, those sparkling eyes, and a wonderful warm smile.
(I am sorry I could not attend, but I do appreciate her funeral services being online. Well done. And Justin well represented his mother's energy, humor, and zest for life.)
Thank you Sharon for your thousands of hours of faithfull service to our community - as only you could do. Enjoy your visits with Mom and Tod and Tony!

No one loved Sidney more, or worked harder to promote Sidney and make it a great place to live or visit. Her dedication and energy is an inspiration.
