Sharon Ann Byron

Sharon was born to Colonel (USAF) William Clarence and Marion (Hallock) Moore on February 12, 1947 at Hamilton Field, California.

She is survived by her daughter, Michelle Byron Alldredge of Austin, her sister Diane Moore Connell of Killeen, Texas, and brothers, William C. Moore, Jr. and Roxann Horton of Cape Coral, Florida, and Bruce Emerson Moore of Austin. Sharon also leaves behind a world of friends she made throughout her life.

Growing up in an Air Force family, she lived in places such as Tokyo in 1955, Honolulu, Hawaii, several times in Washington, DC, and graduated high school from Paris-American High School in Paris, France in 1965. Upon graduation, she attended Colorado State University. She lived in Washington, DC for 6 years and in 1974, moved to Austin, Texas where she and her father opened and operated The Tool Box, until they sold it in 1995. For the past 12 years, she worked in accounting at Ellis & Salazar.

Sharon will be remembered for her love of tennis – she not only loved to play, but enjoyed the local tennis tournaments as a spectator. She was an independent and strong-willed woman. She instilled her keen sense of right and wrong in everyone she knew. She kept her wit and sense of humor until the very end, and even today, continues to make us laugh through our tears.

A Celebration of Sharon’s life will be held Tuesday, February 3 at 5:30 -7:30 p.m. at Balcones Country Club, located at 8600 Balcones Club Drive in Austin.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice Austin or a charity of your choice.
