She was a Casher, Bookkeeper, Drug Store Manager, Store Leader, and a Drug Director during her career. She worked in many stores and was considered a trainer and mentor to many other partners at H-E-B. She was a loving person who would go above and beyond for her customers and partners. She loved her H-E-B family and retired with a beautiful reception celebrating her career on February 1st, 2019.

She loved vacationing at the beach, traveling with her family, gardening, flowers, going out to eat, gambling, spending time with family and friends, shopping and more shopping. She was never shy about showering loved ones with thoughtful gifts and sweet gestures and always offered a helping hand. She was known for her deep compassion, kindred spirit, and loving nature. She will forever be imprinted in our hearts.

Sharon was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer on 12/26/2017. She led a courageous battle always staying positive and even supporting others through the process. She was hoping for a cure and took it one day at a time always looking at what is the next step all the way to the end. She is ringing her bell all the way to Heaven now!

Many thanks to all her family, friends and especially her H-E-B family who have supported her throughout the past year during her illness and throughout her life.
