Sharon married the love of her life, Edmund. Together, they owned the Viking Arms Inn in Ludington where she dedicated much of her time and energy for many years. Later, she worked as a travel agent for several years. Sharon enjoyed traveling. She cherished animals. Sharon enjoyed being around people. She found happiness in giving and caring for others.
