Sharon was a woman of integrity, kindness and love. Her passion throughout her life was to help and care for others in their time of need. I have heard so many stories recently of how my mother, in some way - great or small - drastically changed peoples’ lives for the better. She loved her children more than anyone could ever fathom and would have gone to hell and back for us. She fought hard for those she loved. She was very stubborn, but not in a selfish way. She was stubborn in a way that she would make sure everyone else got what they wanted or needed above her own desires. Our mother battled breast cancer and won. She struggled with the loss of her husband on April 17th, 2016. Even though she lost the battle to Leukemia, she never stopped fighting. Our mother was a woman of great strength and passion. If she were with us now she would say not to cry, that this too shall pass and we will be stronger for it. Our mother was loved by many. Our mother’s kindness has stretched far and wide and she has touched the lives of people she has never even met. Although this is a sad time we must remember that she is now home. She is now with her husband. She is free of all life’s burdens, but she still, and forever shall, remains in our hearts. Sharon is preceded in death by her husband, Doug and her father, David. Survivors: Sharon is survived by her mother, Vivian Perry; her 5 children, Ben, Kelsey, Stephen, Emily and Richard; her 3 siblings, Linda, Chuck and Mike; and many other relatives.
