Prayers for Sharons family & friends. She was a lovely and fun lady. I knew her back when she worked at Akron Brass with my late husband Mel and was married to Harry. We had much fun together with the Mills and Zerrers going to dances and out to eat many times over the years !! RIP Sharon , you & Harry can dance around the streets of Heaw now😇
Sharon and I were friends back in the seventies and eighties. We used to see each other at TJ’s on the weekends. I remember a great party she had at her parents house one weekend….what fun. And I remember seeing her at the fair. She was such a nice sweet girl, always a smile on her face. My sympathy and prayers to her family.
Oh Sharon…we had such a great time at Wooster Business College in 1966-67. Occasional visits, sometimes seeing each other when shopping at Buehlers in Delaware!
