Their children, Rob and Zara Amos, Melissa and Kenny Boler, Rena and Cory Clark, Terrina and Juan Garcia, Shawn and Angie Amos, Kristi and Eric Clancy. Sharon and Gordon were blessed with tons of grandchildren, with two great-grandchildren on the way, which they are so proud of.

Her ashes will be spread over Cocolalla Lake, where she loved to fish with her grandma Sue. Special thanks to the Hospice House which made her final days so very peaceful.
