After they were engaged, Jerry was drafted into the U.S. Army, and he spent over two years in Nuremberg Germany. Sharon waited for his return, developed a deep faith in God, and converted to Catholicism before they were married on November 24,1962; their marriage lasted 63 years. Jerry lived with Sharon in a Memory Care Unit for the last year, so they could stay together to the very end.

She also collected jewelry, shoes. and bargains at yard sales. She excelled at computers and technology and put together several books of photographs and memories including a family tree and history of the Hagemans.
