Sharon was the daughter of Sydney & Maxine Smith born in Xenia, Ohio on July 20
th
, 1947. At the age of 2, they moved to Florida. Even in her childhood she began to paint the picture of her life with all of its vibrant color. Her strong defining brush strokes created a foundation of good, compassionate and loving strength.
Sharon had a natural ability to bring people together and inspire them to fulfill dreams beyond their wildest imaginations. This was one of her greatest gifts. Those who knew her witnessed her love for people, nature and animals. Using all of these, with love and care, she lived her life to the fullest.
One example of Sharon's wild and crazy visions was building a lodge in North Carolina where people and horses live together under the same roof. Those unused horse stalls were later converted into a grandchildren's bunk house. She had a vision and could see the end result before Wayne ever knew what hit him. Her dream of a family vacation has become annual tradition.
Sharon started with a pallet, painted a picture and expanded on it until it depicted her true family mural.
She was our sunshine and our hero.
