Sharon was raised on property that her ancestors acquired after being part of the Acadian Expulsion. She went to St. James Parish public schools eventually graduating in 1973 from Lutcher High School Girls Division. After graduating Sharon went to Nicholas College in Thibodeaux for food science, but the call of the workforce and motherhood was too great, and she entered the workforce. She had and held multiple jobs while balancing family before landing at a St. John Parish employer and working there numerous years. After parting ways there, Sharon juggled multiple jobs as a single parent before finally landing at the Colonial Sugar Refinery where she learned numerous jobs before retiring. She loved her flowers and especially roses which gave her the incite and courage to participate in the St. James Parish Home Vegetable Garden Contest small garden division winning first place numerous times before physical challenges took their toll on her body. Sharon's love for helping others and being able to give to friends or family was truly her greatest attribute. The fighting independent and generous spirit she had, and the strength shown to others was truly amazing, sometimes at her own peril.
