Sharon K Brown

Sharon was born on October 14, 1940, in Marshalltown, Iowa, to Eugene and Goldie Stevens. In 1956, her family moved to Englewood, Colorado, where she spent her formative years. She attended Englewood High School, graduating in 1958, and during that time met her first husband, Tom Eitel. As a young woman, Sharon was known for her beauty and poise, working as an aspiring model for several local stores in the Englewood area.

In May of 1960, Sharon married Tom Eitel, and together they made their home in Littleton, Colorado, where they raised their three children. Sharon was a devoted mother to Kirsten (born 1967), Brandon (born 1970), and Jason (born 1975). Tom passed away in 1978.

Sharon later found love again with Walter Brown, whom she married in July of 1980. Together, they built a life centered around family and shared memories until Walter’s passing in April of 2018. Sharon and Walter also greatly enjoyed their time with the Englewood Elks over the years, forming lasting friendships and being part of a close-knit community. Through her marriage to Walter, Sharon welcomed four stepchildren into her life and embraced them as her own. She was a proud grandmother to six immediate grandchildren, as well as many extended grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy.

In 2011, Sharon endured the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Kirsten, a loss she carried with strength and grace.

Professionally, Sharon worked as a legal secretary for many years, where she was respected for her dedication, attention to detail, and strong work ethic. She continued working into her retirement years, always maintaining a sense of purpose.

Sharon’s greatest joy in life was her family. She cherished time spent with her children and grandchildren, creating lasting memories through holidays, gatherings, and everyday moments. Known for her strong will and independent spirit, Sharon truly lived life on her own terms. She also enjoyed trips to the casinos and the excitement of trying her luck, a pastime she found both fun and entertaining.

Sharon will be remembered for her strength, warmth, resilience, and deep love for those around her. She leaves behind a legacy of family, compassion, and enduring devotion.

She is survived by her children, Brandon and Jason; her stepchildren, Virginia and Glenn; her grandchildren; and many extended family members and loved ones. She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Goldie Stevens; her first husband, Tom Eitel; her second husband, Walter Brown; her daughter, Kirsten; and her stepchildren, Karen and Kimberly.

Sharon’s life was a testament to love, perseverance, and the importance of family, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
