Sharon was employed at Wyeth Ayerst for 37 and a half years and retired in 2000. In her retirement, she enjoyed hunting, fishing, and being on the Great Chazy River whenever she could. She had a passion for the outdoors and the wilderness. When not hunting and fishing she could be found watching Jeopardy, Antiques Roadshow and Judge Judyor sitting on her screened in porch doing her daily crossword puzzle. Sharon was a die-hard New York Giants fan all her life. for better or for worse. Some of our favorite memories were spent in her basement cheering on the Giants!
Sharon was a good friend to many and had many friends that she stayed close to throughout most of her life. Albeit her family small, she was an amazing, devoted mother and was most proud of her two daughters Sue and Michelle and their families.
