Sharon loved to please. She was always willing to bake a cake, decorate a float or fry some chicken. And for those who had the pleasure of eating her fried chicken, you know how perfectly delicious it was. She was rarely idle. She could do anything, I mean anything; paint houses, craft, garden, sew, change a tire, cook, “put up corn” and the list goes on.
