Sharon Edwards

Cancer. Sharon was born on June 7th, 1959, in Independence Missouri to Jim and Joann Edwards. She

grew up in Trenton, Missouri where she attended grade school through High School. At the age of 18

Sharon married her high school sweetheart, gave birth to her first child Janice, and moved to Liberty,

Missouri. A few years later in 1981, she welcomed her second child, Ian. Sharon spent her entire adult

life in the Kansas City area where she worked full time and raised her family. After spending a few years

in the banking and real estate industries, she ultimately landed a position in the medical field, which was

her lifelong passion from an early age. She quickly gained a reputation for being a caring and

compassionate coworker, with a generous, witty and determined personality. She would tell you that

earning the smiles of her patients faces put a smile on hers. She was incredibly proud of, at the age of

60, earning her doctor trained, Nationally Registered Certified Medical Assistant designation.

Ultimately, what was most important for Sharon were Family and the lifelong relationships with her

friends. She said that seeing their accomplishments in life gave her great joy and provided her with her

proudest moments.

Sharon is survived by her son Ian Lavature and her grandson Robin of Gladstone Missouri. Her sister
