    Loretta W Schneider writes,
    I worked with Sharon at Hagley as volunteers and we striked a friendship. We often had lunch together through the years and when my husband died and I could not do the work at Hagley, Sharon was nice enough to do her volunteer work as well as mine. I will miss her very much. Loretta W. Schneider

    Over the last five years Sharon logged over 400 hours of volunteer service at Hagley Museum and Library. She was a wonderful spirit with a wry sense of humor. Everyone in the office enjoyed her coming in on Fridays to work in the Volunteer office . She gave me a lot of good work advice based on her many years in banking. The office will seem odd on Friday without her with us making us laugh while getting the job done,. God Speed Sharon you will be missed.

    For many years Sharon lived in the Valley Way community in Centreville. She loved to read and was highly intelligent and always fun to talk to. She will be sorely missed by her former neighbors, Genny Crampton, Frank Looney, Don McDonald and Barry and Mary Keane. We are so sorry for your loss. Please let us know when and where you are planning to hold services. We would like to attend. Mary Keane
