Sharen was a 1973 graduate of Sidney High School and earned her associates degree from Edison College. She worked as a special needs teacher and was also a volunteer at the Sidney Animal Shelter. She was a member of Grace Church in Piqua.
Sharen enjoyed origami and was fond of peacocks. She loved horses, whether showing in 4-H as a child, or horseback riding. She also loved farming and Allis Chalmers Tractors. She was a selfless person who always put others before herself. Above all, she loved her family and the time spent with them. She will be dearly missed.
In keeping with her wishes, Sharen will be cremated and the family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date. Arrangements are in the care of Cromes-Edwards Funeral Home.
