Sharon had a great love for the Lord and was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  She loved to serve as the pianist for the Primary children.  Music was an important part of her life.  She performed with the orchestra at the American River College, where she received her Associate’s degree.  She loved to play the piano and violin, and enjoyed teaching and performing with her children, nieces, and nephews.   She also loved to travel with her family.  In addition to her native language of Spanish, she was fluent in English and French. Her Ecuadorian culture was very important to her.  She loved to cook traditional dishes and would travel to her home country often to celebrate with her extended family.

Family was incredibly important to Sharon.  Her greatest desire was to bear and raise her children in a loving home.  She dearly loved her family and enjoyed gathering with parents, siblings, and extended family.  Their time together was filled with laughter, music, and fun.  Her faith and family sustained her through her trials.
