Sharon enjoyed crocheting, especially afghans, baby clothes, and even dog sweaters for family and friends. She loved hunting fossils and camping along the Vermilion River. She was an avid baker and kept the family tradition of baking strudels and potica. She liked going to the gambling boat and lottery scratch-offs. Sharon took pride in her flowers and her garden. She enjoyed working on word search puzzles. Spending time with her family, children, grandchildren and great-grandson was extremely important to her.
