Advocating for children was a passion for Sharon. She enjoyed helping families succeed and finding ways to better their lives. She loved her co-workers and thought of them as family.

Even after she had to retire due to complications with rheumatoid arthritis, she still continued to help children, this time it was her own. In their world she was known simply as "Nene."
Nene adored every one of her grandchildren. She loved spending time with them in any capacity.
