Sharon was born on September 24, 1946, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, She was the beloved daughter of Louella Tambini and was lovingly raised by her grandmother Marie Keys. Sharon was most passionate about her family. She was an adoring grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren. Known for her big heart, warm smile and cheerful demeanor. Sharon was always ready to offer her advice, often before anyone had to ask. Sharon found joy in the simple pleasures including a cozy evening in with her cat, Tig or for a time dabbled in painting.



Sharon worked as a waitress, cashier, she was proud of her weigh-master certificate working in a sand & gravel pit in Alabama. Her #1 job was being the best mom to her two children and their countless friends who called her “Mom”. She was quick to fix a snack or a full-blown meal. Her home was a place of comfort, where family and friends were forever welcomed to pull up a chair and stay awhile.
