Sharon was one of my favorite people at Primrose. When ever I would get frustrated at something , and not sure I would get.it, she would come with her perpetual smile, patience, and know how, not ever rushing me, even if I had to ask her again. It was always about the computer. I've thought about her so many times. Glad I got to share again, as she was well appreciated and loved by me and everyone else. Have a blessed day...

Everywhere I look there's no something in my house that Sharon gave me. Whenever she would visit me, she brought something beautiful. A few weeks ago, I had 2 firmer co-workers, here, for lunch. I used the beautiful white dishes and goblets she gave me. They had a grape design around the edges. The only thing missing, was Sharen. I told my co-workers, that I used the dishes in memory of her. She was such a giving lady. Her perpetual smile always made you feel welcome. I really do miss her. How could I not, as I have those special gifts surrounding me in every room. He legacy is caring, love, and giving, welcoming everyone, and a friend to all...

She was a force, think about her often. Love you Christy

Saturday was my birthday.  The first one without hearing Sharon's sweet voice singing "Happy Birthday" to me.  You touched so many, including me!  You set me straight when I was wandering in the wrong direction ... You encouraged me to wander another path when I was not happy in the path I was going.  You will always be in my heart.  I love and miss you Sharon!!  

Sharon I miss you so much! I wish I kept in touch more.  Alina and I miss you very much. 

Love Asha and Alina

Sharon was my supervisor while I worked at Primrose Center. She was always so easy to work with. I was so confident and thankful for her expertise and patient manner with me. She was never intimidating and ALWAYS, that smile. We were planning on getting together after the holidays. I was totally crushed at hearing the news. She always brought gifts. I have so many throughout my home. I think about her often and how she made my life sparkle. She truly was like sunshine. I keep saying, Oh Sharon, we never got to say goodbye. I will remember you with fond and loving memories. ❤️  You were one of my sunshines. You blessed my life....

Sharon was always a bright light.  We were in Sound of Sunshine together.  She used to make pins at Christmas for everyone in the chorus.  I still have a couple of them.  ❤️  She will be remembered for her sweet smile and fantastic sense of humor.  

I unfortunately will not be able to attend but when I return to Winter Garden I will for sure raise a glass to Sharon and all the good times and great memories and friendship!
  With her being resting at Woodlawn, my family can for sure make visits.  May her celebration of life ceremony be one that brings all her friends and family together to celebrate her love for fun times, great friends and supportive family!
Much love and will miss the singing, conversation and fun times!

I feel blessed to have known Sharon from Sound of Sunshine Chorus.  Always smiling and never forgot who I was over years especially since I moved away and came back to Florida.  She will be missed.  Another beautiful angel watching over all of us.  God bless you Sharon!!

We met the Pierce family in 1984 or so when they moved from Miami to Orlando at Lago Vista. Sharon was so funny and I loved spending the nights with Christy when Sharon and Walter would make Sloppy Joes and we’d watch movies like Urban Cowboy. Sharon was always tons of fun and up to go out shopping. She loved to shop for clothes! When they moved down the road our family did as well and we got to experience life’s changes with Sharon and even Christy’s grandmother who came to stay or live with them. One time the space shuttle landed, the sonic boom went off in the a.m. and grandma came in thinking Christy and I were jumping on the bed. We all had a laugh about that for weeks. Then Sharon and Christy moved again near the high school. Sharon was a hoot and she loved high heels. She told me she was short and they were a *must* for shorties. When she found a pair she liked she would buy every single color. She gave great advice that way. I was just thinking about her the other day and some other sage bits of wisdom. She was loved and will be missed. 

Sharon’s smile was always present. Her laugh and love of life were contagious. She loved with all her worth and anyone who met her came away with joy. We shared a love of books and family. I will miss my cousin Sharon. A voice silenced too soon. ❤️

I could fill a book with all of the fun, exciting, silly adventures that we had as we traveled together as Sweet Adeline sisters but the strongest memory that I have of Sharon will always be that she was always genuinely interested in me, my children and all of the details of our lives. Some people like to be the center of the conversation but she was the complete opposite. I think that is why everyone loved her so much. It still is impossible to imagine this world without my dear friend. Rest in peace. Cheers! 

Sharon never failed to call me on my birthday. She sent me postcards from every trip and even sent some from home when she wasn't on vacation! We enjoyed music and laughter together as front row members of the Sound of Sunshine Chorus. Lunches, dinners and parties together were a hoot. She knew how to enjoy every minute. I never met a person who didn't love Sharon.   I miss you now Sharon and will always miss you.

So sorry for your loss. Sharon was an extra special human. Will miss seeing her at our high school events. Loved her greatly, rest my dear friend, Michele Dancu Braham

Sharon was one of the most interesting people I have ever met and as a teacher for 40 years I have met LOTS of people. She was kind, witty and a pleasure to be around. Each time we came to Florida meeting up with Sharon, Debbie and Paula was top of our list. We would always meet at Dr. Phillips as Sharon always knew the best place to go! We were hopeful of encouraging her to come to Our beautiful country Wales but unfortunately it was not to be…
My wife and daughter share my thoughts on here and hope they will give some cheer to you at this time of great sadness. 

From her Welsh friends, Chris, Alison and Amy. Xxxx

Sharon was my best friend.  I trusted her completely.  She was beautiful, kind, funny, smart, surrogate aunt to my children, my singing buddy, my favorite girlfriend to share a glass of wine with and a great story,  my husband loved her and she was my confidant.  I wish I  could call her one more time, hear her voice.  I miss Sharon so much my heart is breaking.  Heaven is lucky.

Sharon, my dear friend, reading all my recent texts from you and missing you dearly.  Anne and I will get together next week to reminisce on the memories we shared with you.  You made a huge difference while you worked at Primrose and  truly impacted the lives of people with disabilities.  Years after you left, you called me regularly to meet up to make donations from both yourself, and other companies you had worked for, of items that would benefit the clients at Primrose.  Our residential homes, ADT classrooms and offices are filled with your treasures.  I miss the fun, I miss the laughter, I miss the day we met and all that followed after.  Thanks for always staying in touch and reuniting with  the Primrose family .  Rest in peace my big 10 Purdue rival,  from your OSU Buckeye bestie.  I love you Sharon and miss you tons.  Susan
Your OSU  Buckeye

Sharon, I can’t believe that you were gone and not here with us anymore. It just doesn’t seem fair. You are one of the most loving, caring, and interesting people I’ve ever known. My trips to Orlando will never be the same since we can’t have lunch or dinner. It will seem so empty when I come to Orlando. The times that we shared at PTI were wonderful.  You have so many friends from there and we all love you.  I remember that you did the design scheme that was chosen for the clubhouse in Charleston.  The client picked your design scheme over the other two from the designers and me. You never let me forget it. I also remember going to Hong Kong with you and you wrote about 100 postcards to send to your friends back at home. You were such a loving person, and I will always miss you, take care my friend. You will always be missed.  

Sharon, I can’t believe that you are gone. It just doesn’t seem possible. My next trips to Orlando will never be the same since I won’t have you to go to dinner or lunch with. Or to see your smiling face and the laughs that we shared.   You made the times of PTI wonderful. We all loved you and knew that you could always make us laugh. Remember the gold and black color scheme you did for the country club in Charleston? You had the best design and you never let me forget it. Lol.   I will always miss you and I treasure the times that we did share. You have so many friends and you deserve them. I also remember the time we were in Hong Kong and you sent out about 100 postcards. I couldn’t believe it, but you have so many friends. I love you and I always will. Take care my friend. 

Sharon, you were such a bright light in every room and you always had a smile on your face! You had a lovely voice which you would seem to a lot of us on our birthdays! Your bright, cheerful personality, and your beautiful voice will be missed! We had great times back in the days of PTI! It was a great company and a great group of people and it's amazing that a lot of us still keep in contact with each other! And you know wise, we will certainly raise a glass to you and all the good times! We will miss you! 🥂❤️Donna Rossmoore and family!

Seemed every time we met, she’d pass on to me a few more things. Paper dolls for my daughter, books, and decor items. Sharon gifted me a set of holiday dishes. So social, she had enough for both my kids! I planned to pass these on to them. For now, I’ll continue to enjoy them and think of my friend. You will always be at my table and truly missed. 

Sharon, you're passing is quite shocking to all who knew you.  You are sadly missed by fellow classmates of the Class of '69 Sharon, Pa.
 


Christy - When Sharon talked about you her face always lit up with love and pride. She would not want you to be full of sorrow and pain, but to find as much happiness as you can in this world. I pray your best memories together will comfort you through your loss.

I met Sharon through work at The Interiors Collection and was blessed to have her friendship for twenty years. She was  a joy to be with and always had a fascinating story to tell. She will be sorely missed.

Sharon touched many of us in so many ways.  She was so full of life that it is hard to believe she left us so soon.  I will miss her so much.  Christy, I can only imagine how you must be feeling.  Please accept my deepest condolences and feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do to help you.

You meant so much to John.  You were so kind and thoughtful.  It meant so much to us that you came to visit Liam after he was born.  You brought love & light wherever you went.  You will be missed.  I pray you are resting in peace.

I’ll miss seeing you at my usual gig spots throughout Dr. Phillips with your book and your glass of wine. I’ll miss getting tips from you in the form of $2 bills – the very same that I’ve kept permanently in my tip jar for years now. I’ll miss our cool conversations and your positive attitude. Thank you for coming to my shows, for your immense support, and for your friendship over the last eight years! The next time I perform a Tom Petty song, it’ll be in your memory. You’ll be deeply missed. Rest peacefully, sweet friend!

The kindest manager I ever worked for.  Still in shock you are gone Sharon.  

This hurts deeply my friend and after just chatting with you on your birthday comes as a surprise loss to us all!  

We have been co-workers and friends for over 30 years!  I will miss you very much and hope and pray that all of your dear friends and Christy are able to move through the loss of not having you around anymore physically, but know that you will always be in our hearts forever! 



So sad at the loss of such a beautiful life. Sharon you are loved and adored by all who knew you. Your leaving makes the world less colorful. I miss you my dear friend.
