Sharon Lea Loberg

Sharon grew up in Seattle and resided in Bellevue for over forty years before relocating to Florida in 2010.

She graduated from Oregon State University and devoted her entire career to high school education with the Seattle School District.

Sharon was known for being a strong single mother and loving her family immensely.

Mother to two daughters & son-in-laws: Tricia Taylor and her husband Richard, Lori Gray and her husband Kevin. Grandmother to five: Christina & Allison Taylor, and Katie, Alyssa & Will Gray.

Affectionally known as "Nana," Sharon's greatest joy in life was playing with her grandchildren and watching them grow. She also enjoyed travel, dining, cards, music, theater and movies.

Sharon was proud to be a Pacific Northwest native and enjoyed everything Washington has to offer especially day trips to Snoqualmie Falls and Leavenworth, and local treats like mint Frango chocolates and Dick's Drive-in.

Sharon's life will be celebrated with a private service at Evergreen Washelli in Seattle, Washington

The Taylor Family would like to thank the associates at LaPosada and the Sage Team from Trustbridge Hospice for their care and support.

Sharon was always thankful for her parents, cousin Yvonne Coop and dear friends: Bill & Fran Masters, Angie Green, Carolyn Otten, Rainie Gislason, Eileen Knobbs, her colleagues with the Seattle School District, her neighbors in Clyde Hill, and support from Eric Long, Arlene Cheng and Scott Graham.

Sharon took her father's longstanding advice to heart: work hard, never owe anyone anything, and help people. Sharon took care of her family and countless students in her classrooms. She will be long remembered for her kind, thoughtful, generous spirit and how she made people feel: cared for, believed in and supported.

I have learned that,

People forget what you said

People will forget what you did, but

People will never forget how you made them feel
