Sharon wore many hats in her busy life. She was a registered nurse, owner/operator of “the Wren’s Nest” gift shop, lifetime member of First Presbyterian Church, and dedicated community volunteer.
Sharon and Cecil traveled extensively, visiting friends, family, and various interesting sites worldwide. Their travels included trips to Europe to visit Shelly and Dubai to visit Ric and his family. They enjoyed exploring the U.S. and observing different lifestyles. Sharon’s love for Spirit Lake and the Lakes region always drew her back to her Iowa home of 85 years. She cherished her numerous friendships.
